Haryana Assembly elections, involving 90 seats, are scheduled for tomorrow, October 5, with vote counting set for October 8 in both Jammu and Kashmir and Haryana. The current Haryana Legislative Assembly will complete its tenure on November 3, 2024. The last election in 2019 led to a coalition government between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Jannayak Janata Party (JJP), with Manohar Lal Khattar as chief minister.
In 2019, the BJP secured 40 seats, forming a coalition with JJP, which won 10 seats, while Congress took 31 seats. The BJP and JJP have since ended their alliance, and this year, the BJP, Congress, JJP, and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will compete.
In the recent Lok Sabha elections, the BJP lost five of the state’s parliamentary seats, while the Congress regained five seats after being shut out five years ago.
Besides BJP and Congress, AAP declared to contest all 90 seats. Smaller parties like INLD, led by Abhay Chautala, and the Gopal Kanda-led Haryana Lokhit Party, which supports BJP, are also in the fray. INLD has allied with the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP).
Haryana has 20.1 million eligible voters, including 10.6 million men, 9.5 million women, 452,000 first-time voters, and 4.09 million young voters.
