Anoop Jacob is the son of veteran Kerala politician T. M. Jacob, and entered public life through the political environment shaped by his family’s long association with Kerala Congress (Jacob). He developed an early interest in politics through student and youth-level activities in Kerala.
He first entered electoral politics in 2012, when he was elected to the Kerala Legislative Assembly from Piravom constituency, marking his debut as an MLA following a by-election.
In 2016, he contested again from Piravom and lost the election, temporarily exiting the Assembly.
In 2021, he returned to the Kerala Legislative Assembly by winning the Piravom constituency once again as a Kerala Congress (Jacob) candidate under the UDF alliance.
He has since remained active in constituency-level politics in Piravom, focusing on development issues, local governance, and maintaining the party’s organisational strength in Ernakulam district.
In the 2026 Kerala Assembly election, he strengthened his position further by winning Piravom with 89,551 votes, securing a massive margin of 44,681 votes, reaffirming his dominance in the constituency.
