The Congress has thanked the people of Kerala for what it termed a “thumping victory”. 

KPCC president Sunny Joseph said the emerging verdict was a clear rejection of the CPI(M)-led LDF government’s “anti-people policies”. 

The IUML, which is putting up a strong performance, has credited the UDF’s teamwork for the alliance’s resounding showing. 

Senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala has sealed one of his biggest electoral victories in his career, defeating his nearest rival T.T. Jismon of CPI by a massive 23,377 votes in Haripad constituency.
