Lok Sabha Election 2024 Results
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set for a historic third term after the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) won a majority. The BJP, however, failed to secure an outright majority on its own for the first time since sweeping to power a decade ago.
The BJP victory tally was much lower than its 2019 tally of 303 and the 282 seats it had won in 2014. The Congress, on the other hand, registered a strong growth, winning 99 seats compared to 52 that it had won in 2019 and the 44 seats in 2014.
