1987 Kerala Legislative Assembly election Last updated April 23, 2025
1987 Kerala state assembly election Turnout 80.54%( Kerala, India Kerala, one of the states in
South India , has an electorate of more than 21 million people.
The elections to the Eighth Kerala Assembly were held on 23 March 1987. The UDF and the LDF were the two major political fronts in the arena. The UDF had the INC(I) , IUML , KC(J) , KC(M) , NDP (P) , SRP(S) and the RSP(S) as its constituents. The LDF consisted of the CPI(M) , CPI , RSP , IC(S) , Janata Party and the Lok Dal . [ 2]
Background Kerala saw polarisation and splits of political forces since the formation of the United Democratic Front Ministry on 24 May 1982. The merger of the two factions of the Indian National Congress , the INC (I) and the INC (A) , in November 1982 marked the beginning of the political polarization.
Another important event was the reunion of the IUML and the AIML in August 1985. Before the election, the Kerala Congress once again split into two; each faction continuing to remain in the UDF. A faction of the Congress (S) and the Janata (G) also joined the INC (I) .
In the meantime, there were splits in the NDP and the Socialist Republican Party (SRP) . The NDP group was led by Kidangoor Gopalakrishna Pillai and the SRP faction. led by Mr. Vijayarajan left the UDF, whereas the other factions of these parties stood with the Left Democratic Front.
The CPI-M took disciplinary action against their MLA, Mr. M.V. Raghavan. Consequently, he launched a new party, Communist Marxist Party (CMP) . The emergence of a third front, the BJP -Hindu Munnani Front, was another political development.
Results Though the elections had been declared for all the 140 constituencies, the elections to two constituencies - Vamanapuram and Kottayam were countermanded following the demise of two independent candidates. While the election to the 138 constituencies was held on 23 March, the elections in the other two constituencies were delayed until 2 June 1987.
The LDF secured a decisive majority in the House securing 78 seats. The UDF won 61 seats. An independent won at Ettumanoor . The third front could not open an account.
