Ahead of the Kerala Assembly elections, Congress MLA AP Anil Kumar on Sunday launched his campaign in Wandoor (SC) constituency, asserting that the people are against the current government’s “anti-people policies” and expressing confidence of securing a “huge majority”.
Speaking to ANI, Anil Kumar said, “The people of Kerala are strongly against this government and its anti-people policies. They are eagerly waiting for April 26 to cast their votes. Wandoor (SC) is a strong constituency, and I am confident we will secure a huge majority. Over the past 10 years, sectors like health and education have suffered greatly. The UDF government will return, and we will focus on the welfare of the people and the revival of these crucial sectors. The first phase of preparations is complete, and the campaign begins today.”
Further, MP Abdussamad Samadani also expressed confidence that the United Democratic Front (UDF) is set to secure over 100 seats, citing public desire for change after a decade of Left Democratic Front (LDF) rule.
Speaking to reporters, he said, “We expect to win more than 100 seats. In any major election, there is always a discussion of anti-incumbency public sentiment against the ruling government. This feeling is particularly strong in Kerala due to several flawed policies by the current administration. People are thinking about change, and such a change is likely to happen. The political climate is fully favourable for the UDF, which is why voters are looking to bring a UDF government to Thiruvananthapuram in this election. Across Kerala, we are seeing a clear trend in favour of the UDF. People are aligning with the UDF.”
Congress had already announced its candidate lists for the polls.
The 2026 Kerala Legislative Assembly elections will be held in a single phase on April 9, with the counting of votes scheduled to take place on May 4. The tenure of the current assembly is scheduled to end on May 23.
