Get Live update on 15th Lok Sabha Election Results 2009 from 8.am on May 16th. The world’s largest democracy voted and general elections 2009 have concluded on May 13, 2009; and the murky Politics have begun even before the results are out!

The month long-drawn 15th Lok Sabha Elections 2009 India finally came to an end marred by few incidents of booth capturing and sporadic violence.

While there are 714 million eligible electorate at about 828,000 polling stations the turnout was only about 59 to 60%.

The first phase of voting that was held on April 16 saw a voter turnout of 60%.

The second phase of voting that was held on April 23 saw a voter turnout 55%.

The third phase on April 30 saw a 52% of voters coming out to vote.

The fourth phase of voting on May 7 saw 57% voting.

The fifth phase of elections on May 13 saw as much as 62% people voting.

However, this is still a little higher than the previous elections. Political parties already started mudslinging to reach the magic figure of 270 and the two major parties are unarguably the Indian National Congress which ruled the country for over 4 decades and the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Hindu nationalist party. There is also a third front with communists and some socialist and regional parties vying for the big seat.

There are no major issues in campaigning but for promises of jobs and homes. Some regional parties threw offers such as free television to people, free education for girl child, monthly ration of food supply for as measly as Rs. 100, uninterrupted power supply to farmers, so on and so forth. However, there has been no party with any centralized issues to resonate with the Indian electorate.

In this context, it will be interesting to see which party/alliance will emerge the winner of elections in India. Based on several exit poll surveys it is clear that a clear majority of any party is a hard outcome and there is going to be a new trend unfolding in Indian politics.

The exit polls survey is giving Congress led UPA government slight edge over the BJP led NDA coalition. The Star-Nielsen survey predicts BJP-led alliance with 177 seats and UPA with 216 seats. There is third front (Left, BSP, AIADMK, TPS, BJD, PMK, JDS, MDMK) projected with 105 seats and the fourth front (SP, RJD+ PRP) with 30 seats. Others are projected at 15 seats.

In the air, it is everyone speaking to everyone to make up some alliances or the other. All visions have got diluted and are boiling down to a differentiating line of either a secular government at the center or being communal. Another trend that is noticeable is the growth of regional parties and the alliance will be based on the deal of how much the states will be benefited if the regional party supports the national party in forming the government. The bargains have just begun and the third front or even the fourth front is expected to pull the gravitational forces of forming the government.

As a result of this, once again a weak coalition is the forecast for May16th outcome. The word of caution is all exit polls surveys are statistical figures and 1 percent swing in votes can result in change in the number game by 20 seats (gain for one party can be loss for the other, so 40 seats will be again realigned).
