Surveys predict UDF win in Kerala
May 10th, 2011 - 9:36 pm ICT by IANSThiruvananthapuram, May 10 (IANS) The Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) is set to oust the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) in Kerala, three election surveys said Tuesday.
The Congress-backed Jai Hind TV channel and a private agency predicted that the UDF will win 86-96 seats in the house of 140 and will get a vote share of 48.60 percent.
They said the LDF would have to settle for 44-54 seats.
Another survey, by Headlines Today, gave the UDF 85-92 seats and the Left 45-52 seats.
But the Kerala-based Asianet TV channel said the UDF would bag only 72-82 seats and the Left 58-68 seats, the difference in vote share between the two alliances being one percent.
Kerala went to the polls April 13. The vote count will take place Friday.
