The Gautam Buddha Nagar Lok Sabha constituency, previously under Khurja Lok Sabha, was established in 2008 on the recommendation of the Delimitation Commission of India. This new constituency covers Bulandshahar and Gautam Buddha Nagar districts and comprises five Vidhan Sabha constituencies: Noida, Jewar, Dadri, Sikandrabad, and Khurja.
Gautam Buddha Nagar has witnessed three Lok Sabha elections so far. The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) won the inaugural elections in 2009, followed by consecutive victories for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2014 and 2019, establishing it as their stronghold.
In the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the electoral contest will primarily feature the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), the Samajwadi Party (SP)-led I.N.D.I.A. alliance, and the BSP.
The BJP has once again nominated Mahesh Sharma, the incumbent Member of Parliament, who secured victories in both the 2014 and 2019 elections with significant margins, solidifying his position. Mahesh Sharma, also the first Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) from Gautam Buddha Nagar Vidhan Sabha, previously contested the 2009 Lok Sabha elections from the same seat.
SP has nominated Mahendra Singh Nagar, a seasoned politician who served as the Congress district president from 1999 to 2016 before joining the SP in 2022. On the other hand, representing the BSP is Rajendra Singh Solanki, who recently joined the party. Solanki, a former MLA from Bulandshahar, brings substantial political experience, having been associated with both the BJP and the Congress in the past.
Unhappy over the issue of pending registries, homebuyers and residents of several group housing societies in Noida and Greater Noida West have launched a “No Registry, No Vote” campaign ahead of these elections.
Lok Sabha elections in Noida, Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressway regions that fall under Gautam Budh Nagar constituency will take place on April 26, 2024.
