Election Results 2022 Live Updates: The most awaited moment of this year’s biggest assembly elections covering five states – Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Manipur and Goa – has finally arrived as the counting of votes began at 8am. While it could take hours to get a clear picture of the voters’ verdict, the initial trends will start emerging soon after the counting of postal ballots starts.
Most of the exit polls have predicted a clear victory for the incumbent Bharatiya Janata Party in Uttar Pradesh and Manipur, an edge in Uttarakhand, and a close contest in Goa. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) could make a huge leap in Punjab as exit polls have suggested a massive victory, with one pollster predicting up to 111 for Arvind Kejriwal’s party in 117-member assembly. Congress will be betting against the exit poll results for Punjab, where it is incumbent, and hoping that the neck-to-neck fight in Goa and Uttarakhand, as predicted by the pollsters, turn out in its favour.
