After the Left-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) wrested power in Kerala, Chief Minister Oommen Chandy will submit his resignation to Governor P.Sathasivam later today.

As per the final tally, LDF got 85 seats, while UDF settled for 47. The BJP-led NDA created history by bagging the Nemom seat and coming second in some constituencies.

Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP), Janata Dal (United) and the Kerala Congress (Democratic) have drawn a blank in the State.

The CPI (M) leaders are going to meet today to decide that who will throne the chair of Chief Minister of Kerala.

According to reports Pinarayi Vijayan or his rival, 92-year old V S Achutanandan might get to be the Chief Minister.

Extremely anxious with the verdict of the assembly polls, Chandy said that the loss was unexpected but admitted that the decision of the people is final in a democratic system.

"So, we are accepting the verdict of the Kerala people. We expected a better result for the UDF. In the last five years, we did everything and we kept our promises," Chandy told ANI.

"The people's verdict is against UDF. So, we will discuss this in detail in the party and also UDF then only we will give you the final opinion about this," he added.
