Madhya Pradesh Lok Sabha Election Result LIVE Updates: The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was ahead in all of the 29 Lok Sabha seats in Madhya Pradesh, as the country closely tracked incoming polls data amid the ongoing counting of votes on Tuesday, June 4. The early trends were in line with the exit polls, which predicted a clean sweep for the BJP with some surveys even estimating a 28-seat tally out of the total 29 Parliamentary constituencies. Jyotiraditya Scindia, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Faggan Singh Kulaste, Shankar Lalwani, Shivmangal Singh Tomar and Sandhya Rai were some of the prominent party leaders among the leading candidates, according to available counting trends. Digvijaya Singh, an Indian National Congress (INC) veteran, on the other hand, was trailing in Rajgarh, where Rodmal Nagar was ahead by a margin of 10,890 votes, the data showed.

In the Chhindwara Lok Sabha constituency, the BJP's Vivek Bunty Sahu was leading by 3,806 votes while the INC's sitting MP, Nakul Nath, was trailing.

Nakul Nath's father, veteran Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath said that he respects the verdict given by the electors amidst the initial counting trends.

The INC has been in possesion of the Chhindwara Lok Sabha seat since 1998. 

Madhya Pradesh - the state with the sixth largest representation in the lower house of Parliament - took centrestage as the vote-counting exercise began at 8 am on June 4. The much anticipated vote-counting process undertaken by the Election Commission of India (ECI) will lead to the final verdict of a six-weeks-long polling exercise to elect a new government at the Centre.
