Karnataka Elections Exit Polls: TV9-CVoter Predicts A Hung Assembly

Will the BJP win or the Congress wrests the power from the saffron party in Karnataka Assembly in 2023? Or will the JDS play the role of a kingmaker? These are the questions that have been lingering in the minds of the Karnataka voters for over a month.

As the polling concluded on Wednesday evening, the exit polls for the Karnataka assembly are out, giving a snapshot of how people actually voted and who will return to power in Karnataka.

Karnataka is heading for a hung assembly in the Assembly election held on May 10, according to TV9 Kannada-CVoter exit poll prediction.

The survey has predicted the ruling BJP to win 83-95 seats while the Congress will bag 100-112 seats. It means the grand old party will emerge as the single largest party, but might just fall short of having a majority in the 224-member Karnataka Assembly.

The JDS, as expected, is ending in third place by winning 21-29 seats with independent candidates predicted to win around 2-6 seats.

The polling for the Karnataka Assembly elections was held on May 10. The voting was held between 7 am and 6 pm.

At 5 pm, 65.69 per cent voter turnout was recorded across the state.

The BJP is looking to retain power while the Congress is trying to make a comeback.

Meanwhile, most exit polls have predicted a hung assembly. It means the JDS might play the role of a kingmaker.
