New Delhi / Bhopal:
Madhya Pradesh Election Results: Counting of votes in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly election result is in its final stages, and the Bharatiya Janata Party or BJP is closing in on a historic win – An absolute landslide of over 160 seats in the 230-member Assembly.
The Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections were held on November 17, 2023 to elect all 230 members of Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly. Voting was carried out in a single phase.
Madhya Pradesh has been a BJP stronghold for the last twenty years, barring the 15-month tenure of the Kamal Nath-led government when Congress came to power in 2018. Interestingly, though, BJP’s Shivraj Singh Chouhan, who has been a four-time Chief Minister, has not been officially declared as the candidate for the top post in 2023.
The Bharatiya Janata Party or BJP is returning to power for another 5 years. Even after two decades in power, there was a pro-incumbency vote in the state.
