The Election Commission of India (ECI) is set to count votes today for assembly elections across five regions: West Bengal, Assam, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Puducherry, starting at 8 am. Results are anticipated by the evening, although the counting for Falta assembly seat in West Bengal will be postponed due to a repolling announcement. In total, 2,926 candidates contested in West Bengal, 4,023 in Tamil Nadu, 722 in Assam, 883 in Kerala, and 294 in Puducherry. Exit polls indicate a potential win for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in both Assam and West Bengal, while the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) is projected to challenge the ruling government in Kerala. Key constituencies include Bhabanipur and Nandigram in West Bengal, Kolathur in Tamil Nadu, and Dharmadam in Kerala. Chief ministers are contesting from their respective strongholds, with Mamata Banerjee in Bhabanipur, Himanta Biswa Sarma in Jalukbari, and others in their traditional seats.
