At least four Exit Polls have predicted that the BJP will open its Lok Sabha account in Kerala.
ABP C Voter, India Today - Axis My India, Times Now - ETG and India TV - CNX have all predicted that the BJP will gain in Kerala.

There are 20 Lok Sabha seats in Kerala and the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) had won from 19 in the 2019 polls while the CPM-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) had been relegated to just one seat in the previous General Elections.

While all four Exit Polls have maintained that the UDF will dominate the results yet again, it is the seats they have predicted for the NDA that could trigger heated debates in the state that is governed by the Left front.

ABP C Voter and India TV - CNX have predicted between 1-3 seats for the NDA while the India Today - Axis My India exit poll has made an even bolder prediction of 2-3 seats for prime minister Narendra Modi's party. Times Now -ETG says the NDA will win one seat.

The LDF will not gain more than 5 seats, according to the exit polls. ABP C Voter has predicted that the LDF will fail to open its account while the UDF will get between 17-19 seats.

Responding to the Exit polls 2024, senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala brushed aside the predictions and said that the party does not trust these projections. He asserted that the United Democratic Front (UDF) will win all 20 constituencies in Kerala and that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will not secure any seats in the state. Regarding the INDIA bloc's prospects, Chennithala expressed complete confidence in achieving 295 seats, as projected by the Congress president, Mallikarjun Kharge at a meeting of opposition parties held at his residence in Delhi.
