The political scenario in Kerala (1957–1980) was characterized by continually shifting alliances, party mergers and splits, factionalism within the coalitions and within political parties, and the formation of a numerous splinter groups.<ref name="UN1" /> The coalition politics of Kerala began with [[1960 Kerala Legislative Assembly election|second election]] held to the state legislative assembly in 1960.<ref name="UN1">{{cite web|date=19 March 2007|title=India|url=http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/country,,AUS_RRT,,IND,,4b6fe22b5,0.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130416005158/http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/country,,AUS_RRT,,IND,,4b6fe22b5,0.html|archive-date=16 April 2013|access-date=11 August 2019|publisher=Australia: Refugee Review Tribunal|via=archive.is}}</ref> The [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]] first came into power in Kerala in 1967, under [[United Front (1967–1969, Kerala)|Seven party front]], which was an alliance of CPI(M), [[Communist Party of India|CPI]], [[Indian Union Muslim League|IUML]], and four other parties.<ref>Luke Koshi, Saritha S. Balan (19 June 2017).

''The News Minute''. Retrieved 1 January 2018.</ref> In 1970's, the major political parties in the state were unified under two major coalitions, one of them led by [[Indian National Congress]] and [[Communist Party of India]] and the other by [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)|CPI(M)]].
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, two main pre-poll political alliances were formed: the Left Democratic Front (LDF), led by the [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]] and [[Communist Party of India]] and the United Democratic Front (UDF), led by the [[Indian National Congress]].<ref name="UN1" /> These pre-poll political alliances of Kerala have stabilized strongly in such a manner that, with rare exceptions, most of the coalition partners stick their loyalty to the respective alliances (Left Democratic Front or United Democratic Front).
LDF first came into power in [[Kerala Legislative Assembly]] in 1980 under the leadership of [[E. K. Nayanar]] who later became the longest serving [[Chief Minister of Kerala]], ever since [[1980 Kerala Legislative Assembly election|1980 election]], the power has been clearly alternating between the two alliances till the [[2016 Kerala Legislative Assembly election|2016]].<ref name="UN1" /> In 2016, LDF won the [[2016 Kerala Legislative Assembly election|2016 election]] and had a historic re-election in [[2021 Kerala Legislative Assembly election|2021 election]] where an incumbent government was re-elected for first time in 40 years.
