The Election Commission earlier this week announced the poll dates for Kerala and said the state will undergo polling in single phase on April 9 and the counting of votes will be held on May 4. Voting will be held for all 140 seats of the Kerala Assembly, with the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) led by chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan seeking third consecutive term in office, after a thumping re-election in 2021.
