India Now Faces Political Uncertainty
印度現在面臨政治不確定性
Narendra Modi has served as Prime Minister of India since May 2014. In the previous 2019 elections, his party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), secured 37.36% of the votes, which, along with its coalition, achieved a large majority in Parliament.
納倫德拉·莫迪自2014年5月擔任印度總理。在上次2019年的選舉中，他所在的印度人民黨 (BJP) 獲得了37.36% 的選票，與其聯盟一起在議會中取得了大多數席位。
So far, the BJP coalition has obtained 239 out of 543 seats in the Lok Sabha, India's Lower House, losing 18 seats compared to the 2019 elections and falling short of the required majority of 272.
到目前爲止，印度人民黨聯盟在洛克·薩巴 (Lok Sabha)，也就是印度下議院中獲得了239個議席，比2019年選舉少了18個席位，未能達到所需的272個多數席位。
Furthermore, this outcome is a significant setback for Modi, who had aimed to secure 400 seats during his campaign.
此外，這個結果對莫迪來說是一個重大挫折，他的目標是在競選中獲得400個議席。
"A Modi 3.0" will still happen, albeit with a slimmer mandate and with help from allies, according to DBS Bank Economist Radhika Rao, as reported by Bloomberg.
根據彭博社報導，星展銀行經濟學家 Radhika Rao 表示，“莫迪第三任”仍將發生，儘管帶着更短的授權和盟友的幫助。
As reported by The Times of India, Rahul Gandhi, the face of the opposition and would-be prime minister, said the preliminary results show that India does not want Modi.
據印度時報報道，反對派和可能的總理 Rahul Gandhi 表示初步結果顯示印度不需要莫迪。
"People's clear message to PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah is that we don't want you to run the nation," Gandhi said.
甘地表示：“人們明確向總理莫迪和內政部長阿米特·沙阿表明，我們不希望你們治理國家。”
The final Indian election results are expected to be announced on Tuesday afternoon.
最終印度選舉結果預計將在週二下午宣佈。
