Revision as of 10:13, 18 March 2023


Template:Infobox legislative election

General elections are expected to be held in India by May 2024 to elect the members of the 18th Lok Sabha.

Background

The tenure of Lok Sabha is scheduled to end on 16 June 2024.[1] The previous general elections were held in April–May 2019. After the election, National Democratic Alliance, led by Bharatiya Janata Party, formed the union government, with Narendra Modi continuing as Prime Minister.[2]

Electoral system

All 543 elected MPs are elected from single-member constituencies using first-past-the-post voting.[3] The 104th amendment to the constitution effectively abolished the two seats that were reserved for the Anglo-Indian community.[4]

Eligible voters must be Indian citizens, 18 years or older, an ordinary resident of the polling area of the constituency and registered to vote (name included in the electoral rolls), possess a valid voter identification card issued by the Election Commission of India or equivalent.[5] Some people convicted of electoral or other offences are barred from voting.[6]

Article 83 of the Constitution of India requires elections to the Lok Sabha be held once every five years.[7]

Parties and alliances

Most of the contesting parties are small with regional appeal. The main parties are the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Indian National Congress.

National Democratic Alliance

Main article: National Democratic Alliance

The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is centre-right to right-wing political alliance led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

United Progressive Alliance

Main article: United Progressive Alliance

The United Progressive Alliance (UPA) is centre to centre-left political alliance led by the Indian National Congress (INC).

Congress will contest the election with the state-level alliances like Mahajot (Assam), Mahagathbandhan (Bihar), Mahagathbandhan (Jharkhand), United Democratic Front (Kerala), Maha Vikas Aghadi (Maharashtra), Secular Progressive Alliance (Tamil Nadu) and Sanjukta Morcha (West Bengal).[8][9][10][11][12][13]

Out of the alliances mentioned above, INC will lead Mahajot (Assam) and United Democratic Front (Kerala).

Left parties

See also: Left Front

At the national level, five political parties including Communist Party of India (Marxist), Communist Party of India, Revolutionary Socialist Party, Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation and All India Forward Bloc have given joint calls for action and struggles on various issues and experessed their positions of fighting together.[14][15]

Communist Party of India (Marxist)

Communist Party of India (Marxist) will form state-specific alliances with left, democratic and secular parties to isolate and defeat the BJP.[16][17] CPIM General Secretary Sitaram Yechury said that his party will ally with like-minded secular and democratic parties in various states like Rashtriya Janata Dal in Bihar and Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh and national level political front will take shape only after the general election.[16][18] CPIM Polit Bureau member and Chief Minister of Kerala Pinarayi Vijayan confirmed about CPIM's plan of forming state-level alliances and hinted an alliance with Bharat Rashtra Samithi in Telangana.[19]

CPI(M) will contest election being a member of Mahajot (Assam), Mahagathbandhan (Bihar), Left Democratic Front (Kerala), Secular Progressive Alliance (Tamil Nadu), Secular Democratic Forces (Tripura), Samajwadi Gathbandhan (Uttar Pradesh) and Sanjukta Morcha (West Bengal).[8][9][11][13][18][20]

It will lead Left Democratic Front (Kerala), Secular Democratic Forces (Tripura) and Sanjukta Morcha (West Bengal) among the aforesaid alliances.

Samajwadi Party

Samajwadi Party will lead an alliance named Samajwadi Gathbandhan in its stronghold Uttar Pradesh. Unlike other Lok Sabha elections, SP along with its allies may not support INC candidates in Amethi and Raebareli as the alliance is planning to field candidates in those constituencies.[21][22]

Others

On 15 January 2023, Bahujan Samaj Party leader Mayawati announced that her party will contest the election on its own strength.[23]

Following a defeat in Sagardighi Assembly constituency by-election to the Left-Congress alliance in West Bengal on 2 March 2023, All India Trinamool Congress ruled out any alliance for the Lok Sabha election and AITC supremo and Chief Minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee said that her party will get the support of the people to fight BJP, INC and CPI(M).[24]

The national executive meeting of BJP held on 16 and 17 January 2023 saw the party reaffirm its faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi and extend the tenure of BJP national president J. P. Nadda.

Charting out the BJP’s strategy for the upcoming polls, PM Modi in his speech to party workers said they should reach out to every section of society, including the marginalised and minority communities, “without electoral considerations”.[25]

Indian National Congress

Senior Congress leader and former President of the Indian National Congress Rahul Gandhi was leading the movement named Bharat Jodo Yatra, by encouraging the party cadre and the public to walk from Kanyakumari at the southern tip of India in Tamilnadu to the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, a journey of 3,570 kilometres (2,220 miles) over 150 days, which started from 7 September 2022 and ended on 30 January 2023 - a journey which took 146 days.[26]

Congress announced the launch of Hath se Hath Jodo Yatra from 26 January 2023. Congress MP Jairam Ramesh said "The goal is to distribute the charge sheet against the BJP along with Rahul Gandhi’s letter from door to door".[27]
