New Delhi / Bhopal:
Madhya Pradesh Election Results: The Bharatiya Janata Party has retained power in Madhya Pradesh with a historic win in the state Assembly elections. In the 230-member Assembly, the BJP won 163 seats, while the Congress managed to win just 66 seats.
There was no anti-incumbency in Madhya Pradesh, Chief Minister Shivraj Chouhan told NDTV on BJP's record win in the state.
The Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections were held on November 17, 2023 to elect all 230 members of Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly. Voting was carried out in a single phase.
Madhya Pradesh has been a BJP stronghold for the last twenty years, barring the 15-month tenure of the Kamal Nath-led government when Congress came to power in 2018. Interestingly, though, BJP's Shivraj Singh Chouhan, who has been a four-time Chief Minister, has not been officially declared as the candidate for the top post in 2023.
The Bharatiya Janata Party or BJP is returning to power for another 5 years. Even after two decades in power, there was a pro-incumbency vote in the state.
Here are the Highlights of the Madhya Pradesh Election Result 2023:

In Madhya Pradesh, Shivraj Singh Chouhan has his eyes set on a fifth stint At top post. The BJP, however, has not declared who its chief ministerial candidate is this time. So, will Shivraj Chouhan return as CM?

As evidence, they cite that the Chief Minister was not even asked to lead the BJP's Jan Ashirwad Yatra - a programme he led in the previous three elections. Five leaders were put in charge of five yatras being held in the state. Replacing Shivraj Chouhan could be a tricky job for the BJP.
