Candidates and their supporters flocked to counting centres, where the atmosphere turned festive as the day progressed.
Owing to the elections being held with ballot papers in many centres, results were yet to be announced for a few seats and it is being reported that the outcome is unlikely to be known till midnight. However, in those seats where the results became clear rather early in the day, the atmosphere was one of jubilation and gusto, with victors and their supporters celebrating the triumph.
