Narendra Modi is set to continue governing for a third term of five years.
It was a setback for the ruling BJP as it lost its parliamentary majority, though the ruling coalition, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) emerged victorious.
Modi wrote on the social media platform X on Tuesday evening that the people of the country had “expressed their confidence in his ruling coalition for the third time in a row”.
