Seats Needed for a Majority

2024 Election Outlook
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is the current ruling party and is widely seen as the frontrunner in the upcoming elections. Prime Minister Narendra Modi remains a popular figure, and the party has a strong organization.
However, the opposition is hoping to capitalize on public dissatisfaction with the BJP's economic policies. The Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) is expected to be the main challenger, but there are also a number of regional parties that could play a spoiler role.
The outcome of the 2024 elections is still uncertain, but the BJP is clearly the favorite. The opposition will need to mount a strong and united challenge if it hopes to unseat the ruling party.
