Since it has a majority in the state house and leads on 49 seats, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is expected to hold onto power in Haryana. The latest figures from the Election Commission show that the Congress is lagging with leads on 35 seats.

Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini and Congressmen Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Vinesh Phogat, and Udai Bhan are among the notable contenders in their respective constituencies. Savitri Jindal, an independent, is leading in her seat as well. But in their respective races, senior BJP leader Anil Vij, INLD candidate Abhay Singh Chautala, and JJP candidate Dushyant Chautala all lagged behind, reported PTI.
