Seats Needed for a Majority
In order to form a majority government, a party or coalition needs to win at least 272 seats in the Lok Sabha.
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.
