Assembly Election Results 2026 LIVE: Counting of votes to kick off today in Kerala, TN, Bengal, Assam & Puducherry
The counting of votes for the assembly elections in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Assam, and Puducherry is set to begin, with exit polls indicating mixed results across the states. The outcomes in these states, particularly Bengal, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu, could significantly impact the national political narrative.
The assembly elections in five Indian states are concluding with vote counting set to start. In West Bengal, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's TMC is defending its mandate against the BJP's push for its first government. Assam saw a direct contest between the BJP-led NDA and the Congress, with exit polls favouring Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. In Kerala, Pinarayi Vijayan is seeking a third term, but most exit polls predict a comeback for the Congress-led UDF. Tamil Nadu recorded a historic turnout, with Chief Minister MK Stalin seeking re-election, and polls largely favouring the ruling DMK alliance. The outcomes in these states will shape the national narrative midway through the Modi government's third term.
