In 2018, the Congress had won 114 seats. The vote share of the party is set to go up to 44.1 per cent this time from the 40.9 per cent it managed in 2018. In contrast, BJP's vote share in Madhya Pradesh is set to decline marginally from the 41 per cent it obtained in 2018. The Exit Poll projects the BJP to win between 88 and 112 seats. Even in the best-case scenario, the BJP manages 112 seats, which is short of the majority mark.
If the Exit Poll projections hold good, Kamal Nath could be back as the Chief Minister. The poll also shows that the BSP is a spent force in the state and is projected to win less than 3 per cent of the vote share. A deeper analysis of the Exit Poll numbers also shows that the BJP is not gaining significantly in the Chambal region as was hoped after the entry of Jyotiraditya Scindia. The Scindia family has deep roots in the Gwalior-Guna region. ABP News-CVoter Exit Poll 2023 Results for Mizoram Assembly Election: MNF Takes Lead in Exit Polls, Leaving Congress With 2 Seats.

The exit poll numbers show a similar trend this time. Interestingly, while the Congress had projected Kamal Nath as its Chief Ministerial candidate even before the election dates were announced, the BJP did not project Shivraj Singh Chauhan as its CM face.
