Chirayinkeezhu Assembly Election Results 2026 Live Updates: Congress leads by a razor-thin margin In the Chirayinkeezhu constituency of Kerala, Congress candidate Ramya Haridas is currently leading with 51,433 votes, holding a margin of just 28 votes over CPI's Manoj Edamana, who has accumulated 51,405 votes. The seat, previously held by CPI incumbent V. Sasi, remains on a knife's edge as counting continues. Early trends indicate a closely contested race, with Haridas and Edamana locked in a tight battle. V. Sasi, the 2021 winner, had secured a margin of 14,017 votes in that election. The broader Kerala assembly election landscape shows Congress leading with 61 seats, needing 10 more to secure a majority in the 140-seat assembly. CPM trails with 27 seats, having won 6 and leading in 21 constituencies. The final outcome will depend on the remaining rounds of counting. Meanwhile, the Chirayinkeezhu constituency, designated as an SC (Scheduled Caste) seat, has drawn significant attention due to its narrow margin. In Tamil Nadu, early trends suggest candidates from smaller parties and independents are leading in 148 constituencies, surpassing the 118-seat majority threshold. The NDA alliance holds 42 seats, while the SPA (Sikkim-based party) has won 2 seats outright and leads in 35 more, totaling 37. However, these totals fall short of the majority mark. The state's 234 assembly seats are under intense scrutiny as results unfold. The Varkala constituency in Kerala also remains a focal point, with CPM candidate Adv. V Joy leading by 2,543 votes over Congress' Varkala Kahar. Joy, who previously held the seat, is seeking to retain it amid close competition. Similarly, in Attingal, CPM's O. S. Ambika leads with a margin of 11,507 votes over BJP's Adv. P Sudheer, though no official result has been declared.#kerala #chirayinkeezhu #ramya_haridas #manoj_edamana #v_sasi
