Will it be the Congress or the Saffron again in Haryana is the big question among all. The waiting is finally over. Results will be declared on Tuesday (tomorrow). Haryana Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Pankaj Agarwal informed that the counting of votes will commence at 8 AM on October 8, 2024. The trends will be clear by 2 pm. However, complete result might take more time to emerge but trends would be clear by afternoon.
A total of 1,031 candidates are contesting the Haryana Assembly polls for 90 seats in the state. These elections follow the recent 2024 Lok Sabha elections, in which the BJP secured five out of the ten parliamentary seats in Haryana, while Congress managed to win the remaining five.
