Rajasthan Assembly Election 2018: Counting of votes will begin shortly. Stay with us for LIVE updates on Rajasthan election result

Rajasthan Assembly Election 2018: Counting of votes has begun in Rajasthan. As exit polls predicted, Congress has taken early lead in the desert-state. Exit polls said Congress would defeat the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), throwing out incumbent Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje’s government.

A party needs 101 seats in the 200-member Rajasthan Assembly, but election in one seat was rescheduled after a candidate died. The BJP had won 163 seats in the 2013 Rajasthan Assembly elections and secured a vote share of 46.03%, a jump of about eight percentage points over 2008. The Congress had bagged 21 seats with a vote share of 34.27%, a fall of two percentage points.

Rajasthan has a record of not returning any party to power since 1998 and it flip-flops between the BJP and Congress.

The Congress is contesting on 195 seats and has given five seats to its allies — two each to the Loktantrik Janata Dal and the Rashtriya Lok Dal, and one to the Nationalist Congress Party.

The BJP is contesting in all 200 seats on its own.
