1984 Indian general election in Kerala

The 1984 Indian general election in Kerala was a significant political event held in the state on 24 December 1984, as part of the nationwide elections to the Lok Sabha and the Kerala Legislative Assembly. This election was marked by a high voter turnout of approximately 68%, reflecting the active political engagement of the electorate. The Indian National Congress (INC) emerged as the dominant party, securing 15 out of the 20 Lok Sabha seats in Kerala, while the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) maintained a strong presence with several key constituencies. The election results underscored a consolidation of support for the INC, which was viewed as a response to the socio-economic issues facing the state. The political landscape post-election influenced the subsequent state assembly elections and shaped Kerala's political dynamics in the late 1980s.
