Voters in Varanasi

According to post-election surveys, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will serve his third term in office. According to estimates published on CNN-News18 after polls closed on Saturday, Modi's Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies will win at least 355 seats in New Delhi's parliament in the general election. Only 272 seats are needed to achieve a majority.
The 73-year-old prime minister remains popular even after a decade in power; its opponents have been weakened by internal power struggles and politically motivated criminal proceedings.
After six weeks, the world's largest democratic vote ended on Saturday. Since April 19, more than 968 million people have been asked to cast their vote on the composition of Parliament.
To overcome the enormous logistical effort of a democratic process in the world's most populous country, voting was conducted in seven stages. The results will be announced on Tuesday.
