December 2nd 2023.
Today marks a historic day for the people of Chhattisgarh, as the Election Commission has concluded the counting of votes in the state's Assembly Elections 2023. The elections, which were held in two phases on November 7 and November 30, had a total of 230 seats up for grabs. The electoral competition in Chhattisgarh was primarily between the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The ruling Congress in the state had nominated candidates for all 230 seats, while the BJP had fielded candidates in the same number of constituencies. Additionally, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) participated in 183 seats, the Samajwadi Party (SP) in 71, and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in 66.
The Congress had set its sights on securing and maintaining its government in the state, while the BJP had aimed for a victory to strengthen its position ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections in 2024. Earlier this week, the exit polls had suggested a close contest between the two parties, with the Congress having a slight edge over the BJP.
As per the India Today-Axis My India poll, the Congress was expected to secure between 40 and 50 seats, while the BJP was anticipated to attain between 36 and 46 seats. The agency had projected between 1 and 5 seats for other parties, potentially leading to a hung assembly. Meanwhile, a separate exit poll by TV5 News had projected the Congress to achieve a comfortable victory with 54-66 seats, while the BJP was likely to secure 29-39 seats.
Now that the results of the Chhattisgarh Assembly Elections 2023 have been announced, the people of the state can finally know who the winners of the elections in each constituency are. The list of all the winners, along with their respective political parties and constituencies, will be published soon.
