🎯 Key Insights

•     UDF’s final-day performance benefited from favourable turnout conditions and effective message retention.

•     LDF’s vote share softened slightly due to weather-impacted early hours and fatigue among undecided voters.

•     P. V. Anvar retained core support but could not expand his influence beyond mid-stage sentiment.

•     SDPI showed disciplined growth among youth and online-native voters.

•     NOTA attracted apolitical and protest votes, particularly from new voters.

📌 Conclusion Nilambur’s verdict reflects a constituency in transition. While traditional loyalties remain, the impact of weather, voters break away from strict party lines, and strategic voting continues to shape a more dynamic and unpredictable electorate. Although UDF currently has a higher chance of winning according to Semiotica.ai, the final outcome remains within reach for multiple players.
