Live Coverage of the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections Results: The counting process for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections has been completed, and the Election Commission of India has announced the results for all constituencies of the Lok Sabha. The BJP has claimed victory in 240 of the 543 seats, with the Congress party securing 99 seats. The Lok Sabha, consisting of 543 members, saw the count for 542 seats following the unopposed election of the BJP’s candidate from Surat, Mukesh Dalal. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is poised to serve a third consecutive term, with the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by the BJP, achieving a majority in the Lok Sabha, supporting him. Although the BJP did not reach the 272-seat majority on its own, it will form the government with the help of its NDA allies. The election results did not mirror the commanding victory expected by the BJP-led NDA or predicted by exit polls.
