Himachal Pradesh Election Results 2022 Live Blog: BJP Eyeing 2nd Term In Himachal, Congress Hopes For Tough Fight

Himachal Pradesh Results 2022: A total of 412 candidates are in the fray in this election.

New Delhi:

Himachal Pradesh is set to reveal today if its voters have bucked the anti-incumbency trend and re-elected the ruling party -- which has not happened since 1985. With all but two exit polls predicting an edge for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), pollsters are keenly watching which way the voters have gone in the closely fought contest.

Himachal Pradesh has not returned any incumbent government to power after 1985, a trend the ruling BJP, powered by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's personalised campaign, hopes to break.

Of 55 lakh voters in the state, over 75 per cent voted in the November 12 election to elect its 68-member assembly and government. A total of 412 candidates are in the fray in this election.
