The ruling Left Democratic Front and the Opposition United Democratic Front in Kerala are both confident of walking away with the laurels when the Assembly election votes are counted on Sunday.
While the LDF is banking mainly on its performance on various fronts and the widespread appreciation of its handling of several crises, including the Covid-19 pandemic, the Congress-led UDF has little doubt that the people have voted for change.
Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan has time and again said he is sure the LDF will get a historic second consecutive term by bucking the 40-year cycle of Kerala alternating between the two main players.
