1996 Indian general election in Kerala

The 1996 Indian general election in Kerala was a significant political event held in April–May 1996, forming part of the larger national elections across India. It was conducted to elect the state's representatives to the 11th Lok Sabha. Kerala, known for its high literacy rates and distinctive political landscape, witnessed a vigorous contest primarily between the Left Democratic Front (LDF), led by the Communist Party of India (Marxist), and the United Democratic Front (UDF), spearheaded by the Indian National Congress. The election resulted in a notable victory for the LDF, which secured a majority of the parliamentary seats in the state, reflecting the electorate's preference for leftist policies and governance. Voter turnout was robust, reflective of Kerala's engaged electorate and the state's commitment to democratic processes.
