Pinarayi Vijayan, the Chief Minister of Kerala, was initially trailing in the crucial Dharmadom constituency but has now taken the lead, according to television reports.
Despite his advance, Congress candidate V P Abdul Rasheed continues to challenge strongly, keeping Vijayan ahead by only about 1,500 votes with more than six rounds of counting left.
This election is significant for Vijayan, who represents the LDF and seeks a mandate from Dharmadom for the third time in a competition that appears tighter than previous years.
