The 1999 Indian general election in Kerala, part of the 13th Lok Sabha elections, was held from September 1999 to October 1999. It marked a significant political event in the state, where Kerala is known for its highly politically engaged electorate. The election involved the contest for the state's 20 parliamentary seats, with major political alliances emerging between the United Democratic Front (UDF), led by the Indian National Congress, and the Left Democratic Front (LDF), spearheaded by the Communist Party of India (Marxist). The voting pattern revealed a shift in public sentiment, as the UDF won a decisive majority, securing 16 seats, while the LDF managed to obtain only 4.
