International indices show a slight dip in volatility as early data points towards a stable outcome. Financial analysts suggest that the clarity of early results in several key battleground states has calmed investor nerves.

The official count for Districts 4, 7, and 12 has been finalized. The incumbent party has held its seat in District 7, while the opposition has flipped District 12 by a margin of 1,200 votes.
