The Election Commission of India (ECI) has officially declared that the Lok Sabha elections for 2024 will be conducted in seven phases, with polling set to begin on April 19. The counting of votes for all elections, encompassing by-elections, assembly elections, and general elections, will take place on June 4.
According to Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar, a staggering 96.8 crore individuals are eligible to exercise their franchise in the forthcoming polls, which will be facilitated across over 12 lakh polling stations nationwide.
Reflecting on the outcome of the previous Lok Sabha elections held in 2019, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured a resounding victory with 303 seats, while the Congress managed to secure only 52 seats. With the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) expressing confidence for the upcoming polls, they are hopeful of securing over 300 seats once again.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in anticipation of the forthcoming elections, has rallied support for the NDA, expressing optimism about surpassing previous records in terms of vote share. During a massive public gathering in Kerala, PM Modi emphasized the potential for the BJP-led NDA to clinch victory, urging voters to translate their substantial support into votes to ensure the BJP’s success in the state.
