An opinion poll by Matrize shows a close contest between CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) and Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) in upcoming Kerala polls. Matrize predicted 62-68 seats for LDF and 67-73 seats for UDF, while BJP-led NDA stands at just 5-8 seats in the 140-seat Assembly. Kerala is the only state to have a Left-ruled government in India.
