Kerala looks headed for a major political change, with the Congress-led United Democratic Front surging past the majority mark and appearing set to defeat the ruling Left Democratic Front. Counting trends on May 4 showed the UDF moving beyond the magic number of 71 seats in the 140-member assembly, putting it in a strong position to form the next government and end the LDF’s 10-year run in power.
