2014 Indian general election in Kerala

The 2014 Indian general election, held in April–May, was a significant political event that shaped the governance of India for the subsequent years. In the state of Kerala, the election saw a fierce contest between the Indian National Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) and the Communist Party of India (Marxist)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF). Kerala's electoral landscape is characterized by its high voter turnout and political consciousness, with the state traditionally exhibiting a robust engagement in democratic processes. The election resulted in a notable performance by the LDF, which secured the majority of parliamentary seats in Kerala, thus influencing the formation of the national government and shaping the political discourse in the region for years to come.
