KOCHI: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will open an account in Kerala for the first time and the Indian National Congress (INC)-led United Democratic Front (UDF) will win a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 15 Parliamentary constituency seats in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, exit polls have revealed.

All exit polls predict that Communist Party of India (Marxist)-led Left Democratic Front will get only less that seven seats.

News Nation exit poll results reveal that the NDA will win 1 to 3 seats, UDF will win 11 to 13 seats and LDF will win 5 to 7 seats.

Times Now survey reveals that the UDF will win 15 seats, the LDF will win 4 seats and BJP will win 1 seat.

NewsX Neta Survey also tells that BJP will win one seat.

Polling in all 20 parliamentary seats of Kerala was conducted in the third phase of the Lok Sabha elections 2019, on April 23.

The schedule for seven-phase Lok Sabha elections in the country, beginning April 11, was announced by the Election Commission in Delhi. The counting of votes will be taken up on May 23.

In Kerala, a total of 76.82 percent polling was observed across all the 20 parliamentary constituencies. With a healthy voter turnout, the state will be eagerly waiting for today’s exit polls.

In the third phase, polling was held across the parliamentary constituencies of Kasaragod, Kannur, Vadakara, Wayanad, Kozhikode, Malappuram, Ponnani, Palakkad, Alathur, Thrissur, Chalakudy, Ernakulam, Idukki, Kottayam, Alappuzha, Mavelikkara, Pathanamthitta, Kollam, Attingal, Thiruvananthapuram.

This year, the candidature of Congress president Rahul Gandhi from Wayanad has also changed the equation in the state, which has traditionally been a CPI(M) bastion.

The highest voter turnout recorded in Kerala was in Kannur with 83.05 percent while the lowest turnout was in Thiruvananthapuram at 73.45%.
