The Government of Kerala

Kerala is an exemplary state of India, as it is one of the states which has been successfully led by a string of coalition Governments. The two Fronts ( group of political parties) in Kerala are - UDF (United Democratic Front) which is led by Congress (I) and LDF (Left Democratic Front) which is led by Communist Party of India (Marxist). The Government is elected every 5 years. The observed trend in Kerala is such that - if the UDF is in power this term, then it is likely to be the LDF that will be in power the next term !

At present our Government (the 11th Government)  is lead by the UDF (United Democratic Front). The latest elections were held in April 2000. The Government took oath on 17th May 2001. The Members of the ruling Front are as follows:

2. Muslim League
3. Kerala Congress (M)
4. Kerala Congress (Jacob)
5. Kerala Congress ( B)
6. JSS
