3:18Now PlayingIndian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has won a third consecutive term in a much tighter general election than anticipated.
His Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) may fall short of a majority, despite confident claims that it was heading for a clearcut victory.
The results are a personal blow to Mr Modi, who has always secured majorities in elections as both chief minister of Gujarat state and India’s prime minister and has dominated the country's politics for a decade.
The verdict marks a surprising revival for the Congress Party-led INDIA opposition alliance, defying earlier predictions of its decline.
More than 640 million people voted in a marathon seven-week election, hailed as a "world record" by election authorities.
