India election: Narendra Modi set for third term but opposition still to concede | BBC News


Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set for a third consecutive term in a much tighter general election than anticipated.

His Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has lost its outright parliamentary majority for the first time in 10 years.

The opposition coalition, INDIA opposition alliance, performed far better than expected, securing 232 seats.

It has not accepted defeat and said it will meet today to decide next steps.
More than 640 million people voted in the marathon seven-week election, hailed as a "world record" by election authorities.
