Election results 2024: All seats declared, check which party won how many
New Delhi: The Election Commission of India has declared the results for 542 out of 543 Lok Sabha constituencies, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) clinching 240 seats and the Congress securing 99.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to make history by forming the government for a third consecutive term, leading the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to a majority in the Lok Sabha.
Although the BJP fell short of the 272-majority mark, it garnered crucial support from key allies like N. Chandrababu Naidu's Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United) (JD(U)). With their combined strength, along with other alliance partners, the NDA surpassed the halfway mark.
While the Lok Sabha has 543 members, counting was held for 542 seats after the BJP's Surat candidate Mukesh Dalal was elected unopposed.
The Congress, part of the opposition INDIA bloc, secured 99 seats, making significant gains in Rajasthan and Haryana at the BJP's expense.
In Uttar Pradesh, the Samajwadi Party led the INDIA bloc's spirits with 37 seats, while the Trinamool Congress (TMC) secured 29 seats in West Bengal, an increase from its 2019 tally.
Despite the NDA's victory, the results didn't match the landslide projected by exit polls.
The 2024 elections, conducted from April 19 to June 1 in seven phases, saw a staggering 640 million votes cast, making it the world's largest democratic exercise.

Sharad Pawar’s health improving steadily, likely to be discharged in 2 days: Doctors
Pune (PTI): NCP (SP) president Sharad Pawar, admitted to a private hospital here following a chest infection, is stable and likely to be discharged in the next two days, doctors treating him said on Wednesday.
The 85-year-old Rajya Sabha member was brought to Ruby Hall Clinic on Monday afternoon from his residence in Baramati town in Pune district after he complained of difficulty in breathing and a persistent cough.
Dr Simon Grant, physician and trustee of the hospital, said in a statement that Pawar’s health is stable and improving steadily. His vital parameters remain within normal limits, and his overall clinical condition is stable and reassuring, it said.
The chest congestion observed at the time of admission is responding very well to treatment, and recovery is progressing smoothly. The condition is attributed to physical stress and fatigue, particularly due to his recent extensive travel and frequent public interactions, he said.
“Mr Pawar continues to show consistent improvement under medical supervision. Based on his current progress, the medical team is planning for his discharge in the next two days, subject to continued recovery,” said Dr Grant.
The former Union minister, who lost his nephew and deputy CM Ajit Pawar in an air crash on January 28, is an oral cancer survivor.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar, wife of Ajit Pawar, along with son Parth visited the hospital on Monday evening to enquire about the well-being of the former state CM.
