The Karnataka Legislative Assembly election was held on 10 May 2023 to elect the members of the 224-member Karnataka Legislative Assembly. The results were declared on 13 May 2023. The Indian National Congress (INC) won 136 seats, while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won 64 seats. The Janata Dal (Secular) (JD(S)) won 20 seats. The INC formed the government with the support of the JD(S).
The following table shows the results of the election:
| Party | Seats won | Vote share |
| Indian National Congress (INC) | 136 | 43.2% |
| Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) | 64 | 35.9% |
| Janata Dal (Secular) (JD(S)) | 20 | 12.97% |
| Other parties | 4| |
The INC's victory was seen as a setback for the BJP, which had been in power in Karnataka for the past five years. The INC's win was attributed to a number of factors, including the party's strong campaign, the unpopularity of the BJP government, and the division of the anti-BJP vote between the INC and the JD(S).
The INC's victory in Karnataka is seen as a major boost for the party ahead of the 2024 general election. The party is hoping to use its victory in Karnataka to build on its momentum and win back power at the Centre.
