As India gears up for the Lok Sabha 2024 elections, many are curious about how to check the results. With the elections spanning from April 19 to June 1, the final outcome will be announced on June 4. With 960 million voters participating, the results will determine the majority in the lower house of India's parliament. In addition, state assembly elections will also take place in Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh. Stay updated with the latest news and live updates on the election results through various platforms.
According to the Election Commission data, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is currently leading in 75 assembly constituencies in the Odisha Assembly Elections 2024, while the ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) is ahead in 58 seats. This comes as a major update for the state, where a political party needs to win 74 seats to form the government. Leaders such as Suresh Pujari, Nihar Ranjan Mahananda, K Anil Kumar, and Sidhant Mohapatra are leading in their respective constituencies, while the BJD has dropped five senior leaders from their list of candidates.
According to the India Today-Axis Exit Poll, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is expected to make significant gains in the Odisha Assembly Elections, putting the ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) in danger of losing its majority. The Exit Poll predicted that the BJP and BJD will each win 62-80 Assembly seats, a huge decline for BJD from its 2019 tally of 112 seats. The BJP, on the other hand, is projected to increase its tally from 23 to 62-80 seats. Various experts and leaders have analyzed these results, with some attributing it to rising anti-incumbency against the BJD and the BJP's growing popularity in the state.
The fifth phase of the Lok Sabha elections 2024 has begun in India, with 49 parliamentary constituencies in six states and two Union Territories voting for their leaders.
