Hello
Centre-left Labour was on course to capture 410 of the 650 seats in parliament, an astonishing reversal of fortunes from five years ago when it suffered its worst performance since 1935.
The last general election in 2019 resulted in 15 MPs of Indian heritage crossing over the line.
The loss in Chhindwara, where voters, barring once, never disappointed the Congress since 1980, tells a lot about the crumbling of the Congress fort.
The BJP, whose candidates had contested in the name of Modi, won in 240 seats.
Exit polls indicated 40.96 per cent of voters preferred Ramya Haridas with the corresponding number for Radhakrishnan at 40.54.
AIADMK and PMK leading in two and one seats respectively.
The process will commence with the counting of postal ballots and will continue till the final tallies are prepared.
BJP's political event is likely to be held at Kartavya Path on the same day of the swearing-in ceremony.
As per the circular issued by the district collector, no celebrations will be allowed without obtaining permission from the district authority.
Polling for the seventh phase was held on June 1 from 7 am to 6 pm.
