When Prashant Kishor made his prediction, US’ political analyst, political researcher, and strategist Ian Bremmer also weighed in. In an interview with an Indian news channel, Bremmer stated that the BJP is likely to secure ‘305 seats, plus or minus 10’ suggesting that the BJP could win anywhere between 295 to 315 seats.

Bremmer highlighted that a comparative study of elections worldwide reveals India’s general elections are conducted in a relatively stable environment. He contrasted this with elections in numerous other countries, which have often been marred by various issues and chaos. Geopolitical instability remains prevalent across many regions globally. Moreover, the anticipated trajectory of globalisation envisioned by major international institutions is not currently evident. Politics has increasingly permeated the global marketplace, reflecting significant shifts in global dynamics.
