The final phase of the Lok Sabha elections is underway, with high-profile candidates such as Prime Minister Narendra Modi, actor Kangana Ranaut, TMC’s Abhishek Banerjee, BJP’s Pawan Singh, and RJD’s Misa Bharti among those contesting. Voting for this seventh phase covers 57 seats across eight states and union territories, including all 13 seats in Punjab and four in Himachal Pradesh.
The marathon election process, which began on April 19, will draw to a close at 5 PM today. Following the conclusion of voting, exit polls will be released, giving a preliminary indication of the election outcomes. The official counting of votes is scheduled for June 4, which will determine the final results and the composition of the next Lok Sabha.
Prime Minister Modi, seeking a third consecutive term from Varanasi, remains a central figure in this phase. The inclusion of prominent personalities such as Kangana Ranaut adds a layer of interest to this final round of voting. With 486 seats already decided in the previous six phases, this final stretch will complete the electoral process.
As India waits for the results, the spotlight is on these key candidates and the impact their victories or defeats will have on the political landscape.
