The Indian National Congress (INC) won the Karnantaka elections by a landslide, securing 135 seats in the 224- member assembly with a vote share of around 42.9 per cent, making it their biggest victory in the state, both in terms of seat share and vote share since the 1989 elections.
The state also recorded the highest voter turnout in the history of legislative elections in the state, with a voter turnout of 73.19 per cent.
The incumbent Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which had wrestled power out of the hands of the Congress after the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, was unable to retain power in the state and secured 66 seats with a vote share of 36 per cent. After the party’s performance in Karnataka, the big question that looms in everyone’s mind is whether the party will be able to translate this performance into gains at the national level as the country gears for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
