What to expect for 2024 Lok Sabha Elections ?

The 2024 Lok Sabha elections in India are anticipated to be a highly contested battle between political parties. Here are some key points to consider:

Parties in the Fray:

1. The ruling alliance, National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), will face off against the newly formed I.N.D.I.A. alliance.
2. The NDA secured a landslide victory in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, winning 353 out of 543 seats, with the BJP alone securing 303 seats.
3. The I.N.D.I.A. alliance comprises various opposition parties aiming to challenge the NDA’s dominance.

Election Dates:

While the official announcement for the 2024 General Elections is still pending from the Election Commission of India (ECI), multiple sources suggest that the elections are likely to take place in April and May 2024. The ECI is expected to announce the dates by the end of February or in the first week of March.

Voter Base:

During the 2019 General Elections, India had approximately 90 crore eligible voters, including around 15 million first-time voters. For the 2024 elections, the official number of voters is projected to rise significantly, reaching 96 crore eligible voters.

State-Specific Battles:

In states like West Bengal, the BJP and the Trinamool Congress (TMC) are locked in a neck-and-neck battle. Other states will witness intense competition as well. Remember that election outcomes are influenced by various factors, including local dynamics, candidate selection, and voter sentiment. As of now, it remains uncertain which alliance will emerge victorious.
