As the nation awaits the results of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, exit polls conducted by News24-Today’s Chanakya predict a significant victory for the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
The projections suggest a strong performance for the NDA, with estimated seats ranging from 385-415. In contrast, the Congress-led INDIA bloc is anticipated to secure 96–118 seats, while other parties and Independents are estimated to win between 27 and 45 seats.
Meanwhile, the India Today-Axis My India exit poll has forecasted that the BJP-led NDA will secure between 361 and 401 seats, while the INDIA bloc is expected to win between 131 and 166 seats.
The ABP-CVoter exit poll predicts a strong performance for the NDA, estimating it will gain 353 to 383 seats, with the INDIA bloc securing between 152 and 182 seats. They also project that other parties will win 4 to 12 seats.
The India TV-CNX exit poll also suggests a significant victory for the NDA, predicting it will capture between 371 and 401 seats. The INDIA bloc is expected to obtain between 109 and 139 seats, placing the NDA close to its ‘400 paar’ goal.
Similarly, the NDTV-Jan Ki Baat exit poll supports these predictions, indicating a performance for the BJP-led NDA close to the 400-seat mark.
An average of exit poll results from four pollsters—India News-D Dynamics, Republic TV PMARQ, Republic Bharat Matrize, and Jan Ki Baat—suggests a strong performance for the NDA, with an estimated 365 seats. The INDIA bloc is projected to secure around 142 seats, while other parties and Independents are expected to garner approximately 36 seats.
Although exit polls provide valuable insights, their predictive accuracy may differ from the final results. The Election Commission of India (ECI) will announce the official outcome of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections on June 4.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), spearheaded by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), achieved a decisive victory, solidifying their political stronghold in India.
The NDA won 353 out of 543 seats, with the BJP alone capturing 303 seats. This marked a significant increase from their 2014 performance, reinforcing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mandate for a second term.
In contrast, the Indian National Congress (INC), leading the United Progressive Alliance (UPA), had a relatively modest outcome. The UPA secured 91 seats, with the Congress party winning 52 seats, a slight improvement from the 44 seats it secured in the 2014 elections.
