On Sunday, Congress announced its third and final list of seven candidates for the Chhattisgarh Assembly elections, fielding party leaders Ambica Singh Deo and Omkar Sahu. The grand old party has fielded Ambica Singh Deo from Baikunthpur, Chaturi Nand from Saraipali, Ambina Markam from Sihawa and Omkar Sahu from Dhamtari.

Earlier, the Election Commission announced the election schedule for the upcoming Chhattisgarh elections. All 90 assembly seats in Chhattisgarh will go to polls on November 7 and November 17, with the results to be revealed on December 3.

ABP and CVoter reached out to the voters in Chhattisgarh to assess the mood as they prepare to vote. The opinion poll showed that it is going to be a tough political battle between the ruling Congress and the BJP. Out of the total 90 seats, the saffron party can secure 39 to 45 seats, while the Congress is expected to win 45 to 51 seats. Others are projected to win only 0 to 2 seats.

In the 2018 Assembly polls, the Indian National Congress (INC) registered a sweeping victory against the Bharatiya Janata Party's 15 years of rule in the state. The Congress had won 68 out of the 90 assembly seats and the BJP, on the other hand, faced a significant setback, securing only 15 seats. Following their sweeping victory, Congress formed the government in Chhattisgarh under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel.
