Christians, Muslims, Dalits and OBCs backed LDF in the election, contributing to its massive victory.
The traditional social basis of voting in Kerala underwent some important changes this time contributing to the larger than expected victory of the LDF over the UDF. A modest but significant shift was noticed among the Muslim and Christian community, who constitute 27 and 18% of the State’s population, respectively. While the two communities have traditionally voted for the UDF in large numbers and continued to do so this time as well, they also warmed up to the LDF at the expense of smaller players, giving the LDF a further edge over the UDF.
