Goa, the smallest state in India, which has witnessed political instability and uncertainty several times amid varying spells of President's rule and shifting political alignments, is all set to vote in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections 2024. In order to understand the direction of the wind in the state, ABP News in association with CVoters conducted an opinion poll which predicted that the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance in Goa might win one seat while the INC-led United Progressive Alliance might win the other.


Lok Sabha Election 2024: Projected Seat Share In Goa


The NDA is projected to get 45.6 percent vote share while the INC-led UPA alliance is expected to get 48.3 percent vote share in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections 2024, according to the ABP News-CVoter survey. 


In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections too both the parties secured one seat each. BJP's Shripad Naik won the North Goa seat with 57.12 percent vote share and INC's Francisco Sardinha won the South Goa seat with 47.47 percent vote share.


Shripad Naik is currently serving as the Minister of State for Tourism and Ports Shipping and Waterways of India. He was also the former Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare. Naik was elected to the 13th Lok Sabha from North Goa and has since then retained his seat.


Francisco Cosme Sardinha, currently representing the South Goa constituency is a senior INC leader who has won six times as MLA from Curtorim and four times as MP from the South Goa constituency.
