Under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, the ruling Congress aimed to consolidate its position in the state. However, the BJP secured a notable victory by leading in 54 seats, a crucial development considering the upcoming Lok Sabha elections scheduled for the following year.
In the 2018 elections, the Congress secured a landslide victory by winning 68 out of the 90 seats. The BJP was relegated to a mere 15 seats, while the Janta Congress Chhattisgarh (J) and the Bahujan Samaj Party secured five and two seats, respectively. Subsequently, the Congress expanded its seat count through bypolls, concluding the outgoing assembly with a total of 71 seats.
The list of winners and candidates leading in constituencies will be continually updated, providing the latest insights into the election outcomes.
