Karnataka Election Results: From Kengal Hanumanthaiah to Bommai, Here is The List of Chief Ministers
In less than 24 hours, the results of the recently-held Karnataka Assembly will be out. With most pollsters predicting a hung assembly, it is interesting to see the final numbers of each party in the tightly-fought polls.
The counting will begin at 8 am in 36 centres across the state. It is said that a clear picture about the outcome will be possibly out by mid-day.

However, elaborate security arrangements have been made across the State, especially in and around the counting centres, to avoid any untoward incidents, official sources told PTI.
This election, Karnataka registered a "record" turnout of 73.19 per cent in the voting on May 10, to elect representatives to the 224-member Assembly.
Even as the countdown is on, let's take a look at the list of Chief Ministers of the state, starting from Kengal Hanumanthaiah to incumbent Basavaraj Bommai.
