Lokniti-CSDS exit poll predicts victory for BJP in Goa and Uttarakhand, but warns of a tight race in the latter state. The Lokniti poll findings echo those by India Today-Axis My India, Republic P-Marq, ABP-CVoter, and News24-Today’s Chanakya. All of which have handed the BJP victory in Uttar Pradesh and Manipur and given Punjab to the AAP.
The BJP will secure 43 per cent of the vote, with Akhilesh Yadav’s Samajwadi Party grabbing 35 per cent, exit polls suggest. The Congress and Mayawati’s Bahujan Samaj Party will settle for 3 per cent and 15 per cent respectively, according to the Lokniti-CSDS exit poll. The rest of the votes will go to smaller parties and independent candidates.
The predicted 43 per cent voteshare for the BJP is an increase of around 4 per cent from 2017, in which the party won 312 of the UP Assembly’s 403 seats. The margin of error is 3 per cent.
