Lok Sabha Election 2024
The Election Commission of India announced results for 542 Lok Sabha constituencies on 4 June. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured 240 seats, while Congress won 99 seats.
Elections were held for 542 seats as BJP's Mukesh Dalal from Surat was elected unopposed, leaving one seat uncontested in the 543-member Lok Sabha.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi formed his third government, with the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) achieving a majority. However, the BJP's 240 seats fell short of the 272 majority mark, unlike in 2019 and 2014 when the party had an independent majority. It now relies on allies like N. Chandrababu Naidu's Telugu Desam Party (16 seats) and Nitish Kumar's Janta Dal (United) with 12 seats to cross the halfway mark.
Congress, a key member of the opposition INDIA bloc, improved its performance with 99 seats compared to 52 in 2019, cutting into the BJP's dominance in states like Rajasthan and Haryana.
In Uttar Pradesh, the Samajwadi Party secured 37 seats, bolstering the INDIA bloc. The Trinamool Congress (TMC) won 29 seats in West Bengal, while the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) claimed 22 seats in Tamil Nadu.
The BJP-led NDA's results fell short of exit poll predictions, which had forecasted a landslide victory surpassing the 2019 tally of 352 seats. Some polls even anticipated over 400 seats for the NDA.
The seven-phase election, held between 19 April and 1 June, saw over 640 million votes cast in the world's largest democratic exercise. Counting began at 8 AM on 4 June, and results were declared the same day.
