The contest in Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram was closely fought as Rajeev Chandrashekhar locked horns with the formidable Shashi Tharoor. Thiruvananthapuram had been a stronghold for the Congress for the last three terms. The 2024 Indian general election in Kerala took place on April 26, 2024, to elect 20 members of the 18th Lok Sabha.
In the last Lok Sabha elections in 2019, Kerala went to polls in one phase to elect 20 members of Parliament from the state. The CPI(M) had won one seat, the INC 15, the Revolutionary Socialist Party 1, the Kerala Congress (M) 1, and the IUML 2.
