Key takeaways
- Narendra Modi's BJP governs 22 states and one union territory in India, out of 36.
- Mr Modi is only the second Indian prime minister to retain his leadership for a third consecutive term, but the historic win didn't come with as much pomp as you would expect.
- The votes had significantly dropped from his win four years ago in 2020, and a majority was made possible in 2024 with the backing of his National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
Why this matters: an international story with cross-border implications worth tracking.
