Background
Himachal Pradesh Election Results 2022: Hello and welcome to ABP Live for the coverage of Himachal Pradesh Assembly Poll results.
Elections to the 68 assembly seats in the state were held in a single phase on November 8 that witnessed a voter turnout of 74.61 percent with Sirmour district recording the highest of all, 79.91 percent voting.
Will BJP buck the trend of Himachal Pradesh not repeating any government since its formation in 1971 or will Congress wrest control of the state under its new chief Mallikarjun Kharge? The decision will come out on Thursday.
In the 2017 Assembly election, the BJP won 44 seats and Congress 21. BJP secured 48.79 per cent of the vote share, whereas Congress won 41.46 per cent.
Even though the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has campaigned aggressively in Himachal, the contest in the state is being seen as a direct one between the BJP and Congress in line with past trends.
While BJP has asked voters to change the "riwaaz" by re-electing BJP as the "double engine" regime would benefit the state, Congress is banking on anti-incumbency and has raised issues of price rise, unemployment, and old pension scheme.
The BJP has promised the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code, eight lakh jobs in the state, and 33 per cent reservation for women in government jobs and educational institutions.
Congress has promised to revive the old pension scheme and give 1 lakh government jobs. To woo women, who form 48 per cent of the electorate, Congress has promised Rs 1,500 per month to each of them aged between 18 and 60. It has also promised 300 units of free electricity.
