Seat change
Against Kerala's previous Vidhan Sabha election (2021), matched constituency-for-constituency
- Retained67 (48%)
- Changed hands60 (43%)
- New seat13 (9%)
67 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 60 changed hands. 13 did not exist at the previous election.
India’s constituencies have not been redrawn since the 2008 delimitation, so this compares the same seat boundary both times.
