According to the trends, the ruling Biju Janata Dal is expected to retain its lead. However, it is seeing a massive drop in support from the electoral results of 2012. On the other hand, the BJP, that managed to secure only 36 seats in the last elections, has been able to achieve a whopping 306 seats out of the 853 it contested this year.
With respect to the Zilla Parishads, the Bharatiya Janata Party has been able to maintain a lead in 8, out of the thirty it contested.

Unofficially, the net tallies showed the Naveen Patnaik-led Biju Janata Dal’s seat share dropping from 651 in the 2012 elections to 460 seats in 2017.
