2004 Indian general election in Kerala
The 2004 Indian general election in Kerala were held for 20 seats in the state. The result was an overwhelming victory for the Left Democratic Front (LDF) which won 15 seats. Indian National Congress, suffered the greatest loss in Kerala, since it did not even win a single seat, even though it won 8 seats in 1999 Indian general election. Even though Indian National Congress did not win a single seat in Kerala, the outside support from the Left Front proved valuable, for Congress to have a stable government for the next 5 years. 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 an Independent candidate (1).
