The '''Kerala Legislative Assembly election of 1967''' was held to constitute the fourth assembly in [[Kerala]]. This election, which was held after the [[1965 Kerala Legislative Assembly election|1965]] one ended up in no government formation, resulted in the newly formed [[United Front (1967-69, Kerala)|United Front]] alliance forming the government, while the [[Indian National Congress|INC]], this time contesting alone was reduced to just 9 seats. [[E. M. S. Namboodiripad|E. M. S. Namboothiripad]] was sworn in as the Chief Minister on 6 March 1967.<ref name="KeralaLegislature">{{cite web | url=http://kerala.gov.in/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3776:history-of-kerala-legislature | title=History of Kerala Legislature | publisher=Kerala Government | access-date=30 July 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006101549/http://kerala.gov.in/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3776%3Ahistory-of-kerala-legislature | archive-date=2014-10-06 | url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=STATISTICAL REPORT ON GENERAL ELECTION, 1965 TO THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF KERALA |url=http://www.ceo.kerala.gov.in/pdf/KLA/KL_1965_ST_REP.pdf |website=www.ceo.kerala.gov.in |publisher=ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA NEW DELHI |format=pdf}}</ref>

A total of seven parties contested in the front, and the front was known as ''[[Saptakakshi Munnani]]''. Congress and Kerala Congress contested separately. The total polling percentage was 75.67%.

==Constituencies==
There were 133 constituencies in total, out of which 120 were General Category, 11 Scheduled Castes, and 2 Scheduled Tribe seats.

==Political parties==
The national parties contested were the Communist Party of India, Communist Party of India (Marxist), Indian National Congress, Praja Socialist Party, Sanghata Socialist Party, and Swatantra Party along with the state parties Indian Union Muslim League and Kerala Congress.

==Government formation==
The United Front performed spectacularly swept most of the seats. Congress and Kerala Congress were decimated with 9 and 5 seats respectively. E M S became the Chief Minister for the second time. [[Second E. M. S. Namboodiripad Ministry]] had 14 members. For the first time in Kerala's history, the cabinet also included members from Muslim League.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Kerala chronicles: When a coalition of 7 political parties came together only to fall apart|url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/kerala-chronicles-when-coalition-7-political-parties-came-together-only-fall-apart-63905|access-date=2020-09-05|website=www.thenewsminute.com}}</ref> [[K. Karunakaran]] became the opposition leader in the assembly.

==Fall of EMS Government==
CPI (M) and CPI continued to have suspicions with each other. Due to the alleged high-handedness of CPI (M) in governance, most smaller parties were unsatisfied. This period also was marked by a series of student strikes and police firings. CPI, SSP & Muslim League eventually became a group within the front and worked together. Many ministers from the smaller parties resigned eventually, and many parties subsequently left the front. On 24 October 1969, EMS submitted resignation owing to the loss of majority in the assembly.<ref name="KeralaLegislature" />

== Achutha Menon Ministry ==
Within a week of the resignation of E M S Namboothiripad, M N Govindan Nair of CPI informed the Governor that their party was ready to form an alternate government.{{citation needed|date=May 2016}} CPI formed a government with outside support from Congress. C. Achutha Menon became the Chief Minister of Kerala on 1969, 1 November. The [[First Achutha Menon Ministry]] had 8 members.
