Election exit poll 2022: What ABP C Voter survey says

India is set to see the results of the country’s biggest state elections this year on Thursday after Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Manipur, Uttarakhand and Goa voted over the last few weeks. A surge in coronavirus cases and Omicron-driven third wave in January massively affected the poll campaigning this time with the Election Commission compelled to announce restrictions on gatherings.

Shortly after the last phase of polling ended on Monday in Uttar Pradesh, the exit polls indicated the mood of the nation.   Here’s waht ABP-C voter survey predicts: 

The BJP is set to win 26-32 seats in Uttarakhand, and the Congress will win somewhere between 32-38 seats in the 70-member state assembly – making it clear that the Congress is likely to form the government, the survey says.
