    Who rules Where? Manorama News VMR Survey Provides Election Insights

    Mumbai: Manorama News is a household name in Kerala, renowned for groundbreaking reporting and insightful coverage. The channel has consistently raised the bar for delivering precise and engaging election updates.

    Continuing its legacy of excellence, the brand recently organized the biggest pre-poll survey, known as Manorama News VMR (Voters Mood Research), on 4 November focusing on elections in five major Indian states. This extensive survey provided comprehensive insights into the upcoming elections, even offering predictions on both vote share and seat positions.

    What set the VMR Pre Poll Survey apart was its scientific methodology, which relied on Automated Forecasting. This innovative approach ensured the accuracy and reliability of the survey results, making it an invaluable resource for voters, political enthusiasts, and analysts.

    The VMR Pre-Poll survey was presided over by a distinguished panel of experts including Johny Lukose, Shani Prabhakaran, and Nisha Purushothaman. It was a massive undertaking that covered five significant states: Mizoram, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Telangana.

    The survey predicted a clear majority for Congress in Madhya Pradesh and a slight reversal but back-to-back victory in Chhattisgarh. Though a Congress surge is expected in Telangana and Mizoram, these states are likely to throw up hung assemblies. It is estimated that BJP would grab power in Rajasthan.  

    Manorama News, with its commitment to uphold the highest standards of journalism, continues to be at the forefront of delivering credible and in-depth election coverage.

    Lukose said Manorama News would have a team of about 100 journalists, and 80 per cent of the appointments have already been completed. The channel will also leverage strength from the wide network of journalists working for the print establishment Malayala Manorama. Former Asianet news editor K Jaideep will report to Lukose as coordinating editor of the channel.

    Lukose added that the channel would be backed by news broadcasting’s latest technology. Some of the latest technology features the channel has signed up include the IconMasterT system for master control with embedded multi-layer branding. The software is developed by the US-headquartered Harris Broadcast Communications.
