In the latest exit poll results for the Madhya Pradesh assembly elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) appears poised to retain the state, with Chief Minister Shivraj Chouhan potentially securing a record 5th term.

Despite the exit poll results, the Congress remains in a tight fight with the BJP, and a hung assembly is considered a possibility. The actual outcome is eagerly awaited after spirited campaigning led by state unit president Kamal Nath for the Congress and Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan seeking a fifth term for the BJP.
The exit poll results come after a direct contest between the BJP and Congress, with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) also contesting but unlikely to make major headway. Reports suggest a close race despite media predictions, indicating the dynamic nature of the political landscape in Madhya Pradesh.
In 2020, Jyotiraditya Scindia’s move to the BJP led to the collapse of the Kamal Nath-led Congress government, resulting in the BJP’s return to power within 15 months. The assembly, with 231 seats, has been a focal point for political shifts, and the Congress is hopeful for a comeback following the recent elections on November 17, 2023.
