MK Stalin’s DMK looks on course to win Tamil Nadu with a significant majority. At 5.50pm, the party and its allies were ahead in 145 seats. The DMK alone was either leading or had won 121 seats, four more than the majority mark of 118.
The Left Democratic Front looks set to have a majority in the Kerala assembly. As of 4.45pm, the ruling alliance was leading in 95 seats, while the Congress-led United Democratic Front was ahead in 44, according to NDTV.
