Congress returned to power, but without a majority of its own.

The Indian National Congress won 36 of the 90 seats — short of the 46-seat majority mark.

Its closest rival, the Lok Dal, won 31 seats, with the remaining seats split among independents and smaller parties.

Nearly every seat in the state changed hands from the previous election, yet the result still left a hung house — one where no single party wins enough seats to govern alone.

86 of the state's 90 seats saw a different party win this time.

The single largest shift was 29 seats moving from the Janata Party to the INC.

A few numbers from the results are worth knowing on their own.

The closest race was in Sadhaura, Haryana, decided by a margin — how far ahead the winner finished, in votes, over whoever came second — of just 10 votes, one of the tightest finishes anywhere that year.

At the other extreme, Tosham, Haryana saw the widest margin of the night, with the winner ahead by 46.8% of the vote.

Turnout — the share of registered voters who actually cast a ballot — peaked in Narwana, Haryana, reaching 79.8%.

Faridabad, Haryana had the largest electorate of any seat that year, with 1,14,517 people on the rolls.

The party that had swept the previous election collapsed by this one.

This was also the first time LKD and BJP won seats in Haryana's assembly.
