The BJP will form the government in Goa after the Pramod Sawant-led outfit emerged as the largest single party in the 40-member Assembly. The BJP has won 20 seats and bagged support from three Independent candidates and the two legislators from the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP).

According to Election Commission of India data, the Congress has won 11 seats, the MGP, which contested in an alliance with the Trinamool Congress (TMC), won two seats. The AAP has also won two seats, while Independent candidates bagged three seats. The Goa Forward Party and the Revolutionary Goans Party have won one seat each, while the TMC failed to open its account in its first foray into Goa.

Exit polls had predicted a neck-and-neck fight between the Congress and the BJP in Goa.

The counting of votes in five states witnessed the BJP storming to power in Manipur, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, while also securing enough numbers to stake claim in Goa. The AAP swept Punjab, decimating the opposition Congress.
