AFP: India's election commission began tallying on Tuesday the 642 million votes cast in just-concluded elections, an AFP reporter at a counting centre said, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi tipped to win.
In past years, key trends in the vote have been clear by mid-afternoon, with losers conceding defeat even though full and final results may only come late on Tuesday night.
