Karnataka Polls Result Update: From Siddaramaiah, DK Shivakumar, BS Bommai To HD Kumaraswamy

Karnataka Election 2023: The counting of votes is underway for 224 assembly seats in the state.

The voting in Karnataka passed off peacefully with a turnout of 73.19 per cent, surpassing the 72.36 per cent recorded in 2018.

The Karnataka election result is almost clear and it favours the Congress which appears to ace the majority mark with ease. The BJP on the other hand is restricted to under 80 seats. This comes as a booster for the Congress ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls and may help the grand old party in forging a united front against the saffron surge as well. While the Congress is leading in the trends, the fate of chief ministerial candidates has also been decided by the voters, be it Siddaramaiah, DK Shivakumar or BS Bommai.
