Fredge: The rule is clear, none of them satisfies the condition to be declared winner and therefore it will be inconclusive. A re-run will be done within a week. Thereafter, whoever has the majority votes with 1/4 in 2/3rd of the states in the country will be declared winner. 184 Likes 14 Shares |

misano: There are primarily two provisions by law to be declared winner: 1. Majority vote 2. 25% in 2/3 states. Both have to be satisfied to emerge winner. In this case, both contestant only satisfy one of the provisions hence a rerun 70 Likes 9 Shares |
