2019 Lok Sabha elections

The voting for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections was held  across 543 constituencies in seven phases from April 11 to May 19. The first phase happened on 11 April, the second phase on April 18, the third phase on 23rd April, fourth phase on 29th April, fifth phase on 5th May, sixth phase on May 12th and seventh and the final phase on May 19th.

What are political parties claiming?

The BJP-led ruling dispensation has exuded confidence of winning over 300 seats in the House while if at all the Congress manages to grab around 120 seats, a Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government with support from other regional parties could be on the cards. In another scenario, there could be a Third Front government supported by the Congress which would deny Narendra Modi a second term. A lot will depend on the second largest party. Watch our comprehensive exit poll to know if BJP will be able to repeat its 2014 performance or will there be a case of a hung outcome.
