MP Election Results 2023: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been leading in 230 constituent assembly states of Madhya Pradesh with 165 seats as per official reports of the Election Commission of India registered at 3:15 pm. Indian National Congress (INC) is on the back foot and is struggling behind with not even half the number of seats BJP has managed to secure. Congress' vote tally totals to 65 as per latest update.

However, the main question that arises with BJP in the lead is who will be the next Chief minister for the state. On November 17, Madhya Pradesh assembly elections were held in a single phase whose vote counting process began on December 3 at 8 am. BJP and INC stand as the primary political forces in Madhya Pradesh.

However, Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and the Samajwadi Party (SP) also hold significance in the state's political landscape. With BJP poised to form government again in MP, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan while talking to ANI on Sunday morning said, "This is not the time to speak on these things (election results)" and refused to answer any questions on the election results. However, he claimed that the BJP will form a government again with an absolute majority.

Chouhan further said, "Modi ji MP ke mann mein hain aur Modi ji ke mann mein MP hai. He held public rallies here and appealed to the people and that touched people’s hearts. These trends are a result of that.
