Chhattisgarh assembly election results 2023:
Contrary to what Chhattisgarh exit polls predicted, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has registered its biggest election win in the state, dashing the hopes of the Bhupesh Baghel-led Congress Party's return to power for the second consecutive term. The BJP has won 54 seats with more than 46% vote share, while the Congress managed to win 35 seats with over 42% vote share, as per the official data on the Election Commission of India website. The Gondvana Gantantra Party has won one seat.
Former Chief Minister Raman Singh defeated Congress leader Girish Dewagan and won the Rajnandgaon constituency with a margin of 45,084 votes. Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel, who resigned as the chief minister Sunday night, emerged victorious in the Patan assembly seat, defeating BJP candidate Vijay Baghel by 19,723 votes.
The counting of votes in elections to the 90-member Chhattisgarh assembly started at 8 am on Sunday, with security personnel maintaining a strict vigil in counting centres in the state's 33 districts, including those affected by Left Wing Extremism (LWE), a poll official said. The elections were held in two phases on November 7 and 17. Voter turnout stood at 76.31%.
