The total turnout, including postal ballots, is slightly above 69%, according to the state’s chief electoral officer (CEO) Praveen Gupta. “Polling was on at many polling stations even after 6pm. We hope the voting percentage will cross last election’s figure,” he said. The 2018 turnout was above 74%.

LS Election Results 2024: Huge Numbers For I.N.D.I.A | Congress Celebrates The Victory

The Congress party has scripted a comeback story, almost doubling its 2019 tally, as it leads in at least 97 seats and claims victory in Jalandhar. The power fight by the INDIA bloc was also led by the Samajwadi Party, which currently has the highest number of leads (35) in Uttar Pradesh. The stakes are high for the Opposition, which has consolidated into the INDIA bloc, and is looking to upset the NDA’s tally. The Opposition has dismissed the exit poll predictions, reposing its faith in “people’s polls”.As of 2.50 pm, in a neck-and-neck fight, the NDA was leading in 290 seats, while the INDIA bloc was ahead in 234. An interesting trend to note is the Congress’s performance in Rajasthan, where it looks set to end its dry run. It is currently leading in eight seats out of 25 seats. In Haryana, too, the Congress is looking at a comeback, having lost all seats to the BJP in 2019. Out of 10 Lok Sabha seats, the Congress is consistently leading on six seats in Haryana. #loksabharesult #RahulGandhi #Congress #CongressCelebrations #RahulGandhi #SP #UPResult #AkhileshYadav #loksabharesult2024 #loksabharesultlive #electionresults2024 #electionresultslive #liveelectionresult #electionresults2024live #electionresultsanalysis #liveelectionresult2024 #electionresultsnow #electionresult #electionresulttoday #2024elections #2024loksabhaelection2024 #2024electionresult #chunavresult #loksabhaelection2024 #loksabha2024 #bjp #congress #pmmodi #narendramodi #rahulgandhi #electionbreaking #electionnews #election2024 ~PR.152~HT.318~ED.141~GR.123~
