Twenty-seven-year-old CPI(M) legislator elected from Baluserri K.M. Sachindev is the youngest legislator and 79-year-old Kerala Congress legislator P. J. Joseph elected again from Thodupuzha constituency, the eldest legislator of the 15th Kerala Legislative Assembly.
The youngest to contest the April 6 elections to the Legislative Assembly was 26-year-old K. M.
