Madhya Pradesh Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Key parties, past results, constituencies and more

Madhya Pradesh, considered the strong foothold of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), sends 29 parliamentarians to the Lok Sabha and will go to polls in four different phases from April 19.

In the 2019 general elections, the saffron party registered victory on 28 seats with a vote-share of 58.5 percent, while one seat was won by the Indian National Congress, receiving a vote-share of 34.8 percent.

Also, in the state assembly polls held in 2023, the opposition Congress was confident of overthrowing the long-standing BJP government led by Shivraj Chouhan, which remained in power for nearly two decades, except for a brief 15-month period when the Congress took office after the 2018 elections.

However, the grand old party faced a debacle in the state again as it could win only 66 seats, while the Bhartiya Janata Party won with a landslide victory, bagging 163 seats out of the 230 assembly seats.

The Bharatiya Janata Party is again confident of repeating its previous performances to achieve the target of 370 seats in the upcoming polls, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi is seeking a third straight term at the Centre.
