The 15th Kerala Legislative Assembly (KLA) finished its final session on February 24, 2026. With the 2026 Assembly election campaigns already starting, Kerala is now preparing to choose its next government.
This Assembly leaves behind a mixed record. It had fewer meetings compared to earlier Assemblies, but it managed to pass a good number of laws and complete important work.
According to Atyeti Research, an independent policy analysis group, the 15th Assembly held 16 sessions over 204 sitting days. This shows a decline compared to the 14th Assembly, which had 22 sessions and 232 sitting days. The 13th Assembly had 16 sessions but sat for 237 days, which is higher than the 15th Assembly.
In terms of total working hours, the 15th Assembly met for 1,188 hours. This is lower than the 13th Assembly, which worked for more than 1,445 hours. Data for the total sitting hours of the 14th Assembly is not available.
Even though the number of sitting days and hours decreased, the Assembly saw active debates, the passing of several important Bills, and discussions on major issues affecting the State. Members raised questions on development, welfare schemes, the economy, health, and education. The government also introduced new policies and amendments during this term.
As Kerala moves towards the 2026 elections, the performance of the 15th Assembly is likely to be discussed by political parties and voters. While some may point to the reduced number of sittings, others may highlight the legislative work completed during this period.
Here are some of the key developments and decisions that took place inside the Assembly during its five-year term.
