Early trends from the 2024 Lok Sabha elections show the Opposition's INDIA bloc exceeding expectations by surpassing the 200-seat mark, a significant gain from 2019. Despite these advances, the NDA appears poised to retain power, approaching the majority mark of 272 seats. Key leaders such as PM Narendra Modi in Varanasi, Rahul Gandhi in Wayanad, and Akhilesh Yadav in Kannauj are leading. If Modi secures a third term, he will follow Jawaharlal Nehru's record. Counting of votes for state assembly elections in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh is also underway. Results will be finalized later today.
