The Congress-backed Jai Hind TV channel and a private agency predicted that the UDF will win 86-96 seats in the house of 140 and will get a vote share of 48.60 percent.

They said the LDF would have to settle for 44-54 seats.

Another survey, by Headlines Today, gave the UDF 85-92 seats and the Left 45-52 seats.

But the Kerala-based Asianet TV channel said the UDF would bag only 72-82 seats and the Left 58-68 seats, the difference in vote share between the two alliances being one percent.

Kerala went to the polls April 13. The vote count will take place Friday.
