Congress candidate Usha Vijayan defeated sitting CPI(M) minister O.R. Kelu in Wayanad by 10,543 votes as the UDF swept the district in Kerala's 2026 assembly elections. The loss of a sitting Cabinet minister by such a margin is a significant blow to the LDF's statewide position.

UDF Leads All Three Wayanad Seats; Minister Kelu Trails

The UDF leads in all three Wayanad constituencies in Kerala's 2026 assembly election counts, with CPI(M) Cabinet Minister O.R. Kelu trailing Congress rival Usha Vijayan by 744 votes in Mananthavady. A minister losing his seat would be a notable setback for the ruling LDF government.
