Elections to the Legislative Assembly of the Indian state of Travancore-Cochin were held on 27 March 1952.
Travancore-Cochin had 97 constituencies, 11 of them were two-member constituencies and 86 were single-member constituencies. There were 33,65,955 electors in the single member constituencies, while 8,44,389 electors in two-member constituencies. Total 437 candidates competed for 108 seats of the 97 constituencies in the Assembly. [1]
Three national parties ( Indian National Congress, Revolutionary Socialist Party and Socialist Party) along with four state parties ( Cochin Party, Travancore Cochin Republican Praja Party, Travancore Tamil Nadu Congress and Tamil Nadu Toilers Party) and two registered unrecognized party ( Kerala Socialist Party and Tamil Nadu People Front) took part in the electoral process of 1951-1952 assembly elections. [1] Since Communist Party of India was banned in Travancore-Cochin State, [2] its candidates took part in the electoral process as Independent candidates, which later formed a United Left front of leftists following the success in the elections. [3]
Congress party fell short of the majority by 11 seats. So it formed a coalition government with the help of Travancore Tamil Nadu Congress, Kerala Socialist Party and a Nominated member.
