A Matrize-IANS opinion poll has projected a tight contest in Kerala, with the Left-led alliance holding a slight edge over the Congress-led front in the 140-seat Assembly election. The survey suggests that both alliances remain locked in a close race, with only a small gap in projected seat numbers. The opinion poll comes ahead of polling scheduled for April 9, with counting of votes to take place on May 4, after Kerala goes to the polls in a single phase along with other states and the Union Territory of Puducherry.
