Fifty-eight Lok Sabha seats, across eight states and the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag, will vote on Saturday in the penultimate phase of the Lok Sabha elections.
In 2019, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won 40 of these, including all the seven in Delhi and 10 in Haryana, and the Congress none. The National Democratic Alliance, led by the BJP, won 45. The BJP's allies, such as the Janata Dal (United), the Lok Janshakti Party, and the All Jharkhand Students' Union, got five.
Of the other seats, the Trinamool Congress won three, the Biju Janata Dal and Bahujan Samaj Party four each, and the Samajwadi Party secured one seat, that of Azamgarh, which the late Mulayam Singh Yadav had won.
Simultaneous polling for 42 Assembly seats in Odisha will also be held on Saturday. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted no adverse impact of the cyclone, the Election Commission said.
