Himachal Polls 2022: All of the candidates, top party leaders, and supporters are waiting with bated breath for the results of the vote-counting on Thursday, December 8. Despite their tall victories claims, they also give off the impression of being perplexed in the wake of exit poll estimates.
Congress leaders, who were certain they would win, are evaluating the post-election landscape and suggesting that a clean majority may evade the party.
In the meantime, BJP officials are in contact with independents as well because their support is essential in the event of a hung assembly.
Thursday’s election results would decide the outcome of 412 candidates as well as whether or not the “Riwaz” (custom of changing the government every five years) would continue or change and the BJP would retake power.
Because the electorate in Himachal is politically quite mature and they make up their minds well in advance, the claims of political parties and their leaders often have no relevance. An experienced politician who left electoral politics a few years ago claimed that the media and politicians frequently miss the “undercurrent” and subsequently describe the outcomes as stunning and surprising.

In more than two dozen seats, there is a close contest between the BJP and the Congress, but there are also 27 rebels — 20 from the BJP and 7 from the Congress — who are challenging the official party candidates.
As a result of Satyendra Jain’s arrest and the raids on the homes of important leaders like Manish Sisodia, the Aam Aadmi Party, which began its campaign over two months before the election, was unable to maintain its momentum. After the tickets were announced, the party almost got grounded.
