India election: Counting underway after 642 million people voted | BBC News


Votes are being counted in India after the world’s biggest election was held in seven phases over six weeks with hundreds of millions of people voting.

Early trends show Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s BJP-led NDA alliance is leading in nearly 300 seats.

Most exit polls had suggested a comfortable win for Mr Modi’s party, which is eyeing a rare third consecutive term in power.

However, the opposition alliance INDIA is performing better than expected and is ahead in more than 200 seats.

A party or alliance needs to win 272 seats in the 543-member parliament to form the government. Results are expected later on Tuesday.
