The '''[[2004 Indian general election]] in Kerala''' were held for 20 [[Lok Sabha]] seats in the state.<ref>{{Cite web|title=General Election, 2004|url=https://eci.gov.in/files/file/4126-general-election-2004-vol-i-ii-iii/|url-status=live}}</ref>
The result was an overwhelming victory for the [[Left Democratic Front (Kerala)|Left Democratic Front]] (LDF) which won 15 seats. [[Indian National Congress]], who had won 8 seats in the [[1999 Indian general election|1999 elections]], won none this election. The other 5 seats were won by [[Kerala Congress]] (1), P.C. Thomas's [[Indian Federal Democratic Party]] (1), [[Indian Union Muslim League]] (1), [[Janata Dal (Secular)]] (1), and by an LDF supported [[Independent (politician)|Independent]] candidate (1).

In the aftermath of this election, the then [[Chief minister (India)|Chief Minister]] of the state [[A. K. Antony]] resigned taking sole responsibility for the INC's poor electoral performance.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Why Kerala CM Antony resigned|url=https://www.rediff.com/news/2004/aug/29kerala1.htm|access-date=2020-09-15|website=www.rediff.com}}</ref> Despite this, the outside support from the [[Third Front (India)|Left Front]] proved valuable for Congress to have a stable government in the Lok Sabha for the next 5 years.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2018-04-22|title=When CPI(M) had a ‘pact’ with Congress in 2004|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/when-cpi-m-had-a-pact-with-congress-in-2004/story-bi89IR7LejwVr639m7DljP.html|access-date=2020-09-15|website=Hindustan Times|language=en}}</ref>
