The results of the West Bengal Lok Sabha Elections 2024 will be declared on June 4, 2024. On this day, the counting of votes will commence, and the final results are expected to be announced by the end of the day. This declaration will reveal the winners of all constituencies in West Bengal and will significantly shape the overall outcome of the national elections.
The West Bengal Lok Sabha Election Exit Poll Results 2024 will be declared on June 1, 2024, immediately after the conclusion of the final phase of voting. These exit polls, conducted by various agencies and media houses, provide an early indication of the possible outcomes based on voter surveys conducted at polling stations.
West Bengal has a total of 42 Lok Sabha seats, making it one of the states with a significant number of parliamentary constituencies. These seats are crucial for any party or coalition aiming to secure a majority in the Lok Sabha.
Key candidates in the West Bengal Lok Sabha Elections 2024 include several prominent political figures. Mamata Banerjee (AITC) is a significant candidate, though she typically contests state assembly elections; her party, the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC), will have key candidates like Abhishek Banerjee. Other notable figures include Dilip Ghosh (BJP), Babul Supriyo (BJP), and Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury (INC). Additionally, leaders from the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) are expected to contest key seats.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections, the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) won 22 out of the 42 seats in West Bengal, while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) made significant inroads, winning 18 seats. The Indian National Congress (INC) secured 2 seats, and the Left Front, primarily represented by the CPI(M), did not win any seats. The results marked a significant shift in West Bengal's political landscape, with the BJP emerging as a major contender against the AITC.
West Bengal sends 42 members to the Lok Sabha. In the 2019 general elections, BJP had won 18 seats, Trinamool Congress 22 seats and the Congress 2 seats. BJP had registered a historic mandate in the last election, winning 282 seats - an absolute majority in the Lok Sabha. The Congress was reduced to its worst-ever tally, winning only 44 constituencies. After the complete domination of the BJP-led NDA alliance in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha Elections, INC, TMC, RJD, SP and many other parties, decided to come under one banner of INDIA bloc for the upcoming parliamentary election of 2019. Out of the 42 Lok Sabha seats in West Bengal, 30 seats are contested as unreserved seats, while ten seats are reserved for SC candidates and two seats are reserved for ST candidates. The BJP is projected to secure 40 percent of the vote share, which is the same as in 2019. Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress is expected to get 53 percent of the vote share, a decline of four percent from 2019. The state has also witnessed a series of violence leading up to the 2024 parliamentary polls, Sandeshkhali in North 24 Paragana being the latest flashpoint between the ruling TMC and the Bharatiya Janata Party.
