The 2024 Lok Sabha elections in India concluded with significant results, reflecting both continuity and change in the political landscape. The elections were held over seven phases from April 19 to June 1, 2024, with the results declared on June 4, 2024. Over 968 million eligible voters participated, marking a record turnout, especially among women (Wikipedia) (India Today).
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, sought a third consecutive term. Early results indicated that Modi’s coalition, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), was on track to secure around 300 seats. However, the final results showed the BJP losing its outright majority, despite a strong performance in several key states (Wikipedia).
In key states like Madhya Pradesh, the BJP dominated, winning 28 out of 29 seats (India Today). In contrast, the INDIA bloc, a coalition of opposition parties, performed well in states like Telangana, where they won 10 out of 17 seats (India Today). The NDA managed to maintain a significant presence in states like Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat, but faced tougher competition in states such as West Bengal and Maharashtra (India Today).
Overall, the 2024 Lok Sabha elections highlighted a more competitive political environment with significant regional variations in voter support. The results underscored both the enduring strength of the BJP and the rising influence of the opposition INDIA bloc in certain regions.
