Election Results 2024

2024 Lok Sabha Election Results: In stark contrast to exit poll projections, counting day threw up a lot of surprises. Slowing down BJP's all-conquering 10-year-long power trip, the Congress seems to have made a remarkable comeback, leading the opposition INDIA bloc to a total that is respectable by all accounts. A day after the vote counts were revealed, the BJP-led NDA hovered around the 90-seat mark, while INDIA bloc's tally remaining around 235.

As things stand, NDA is well over seat-count needed to form government comfortably. With well over two-thirds of vote counting now done, the situation has yet to become fully clear, prompting smaller dispensations to approach each other to check on likelihoods of combinations.

Counting day details
The counting of votes for Lok Sabha Elections 2024 began at 8 am on June 4. After some initial fluctuations, the trends that emerged around early noon stayed more or less till late afternoon.

The Election Commission is expected to declare the final official result by either late at night on June 4 or on the morning of June 5. The term of the 17th Lok Sabha is set to expire on June 16, 2024.
