The Zee/Zeenia AI prediction is the most conservative, showing a tight contest where UDF ranges could fall short of a clear majority in the pessimistic scenario (63 seats). It also acknowledges Pinarayi Vijayan as the leading CM choice per voter preference β€” suggesting incumbency is not uniformly negative for LDF.
