Background
West Bengal Lok Sabha Elections Results 2024: West Bengal, known for its intense political landscape, has long been a state where regional parties often outshine national contenders. In the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections, the Trinamool Congress (TMC), led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, emerged as the largest party, securing 18 seats. However, this was a significant drop from the 30 seats they won in 2014. Conversely, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) saw a remarkable surge, increasing its tally from just 2 seats in 2014 to 18 in 2019.
As the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections unfold, West Bengal remains a focal point due to its dynamic political shifts. Despite being part of the I.N.D.I.A. alliance, TMC has opted to contest all 42 seats independently, further intensifying the political competition.
The electoral process has seen notable fluctuations in voter engagement. After a dip in voter turnout from the first to the second phase, West Bengal recorded its highest turnout in phase six on May 25, with 80.05 per cent of eligible voters casting their ballots. This figure is a significant increase from the 78.45 per cent recorded in phase five and well above the national average of 61.85 per cent. Overall, the state's voter participation rate after six phases stands at an impressive 79.23 per cent.
With nine seats remaining, the final phase of polling in West Bengal is scheduled for June 1. As per the Election Commission of India's timetable, the outcome of this final phase is highly anticipated, promising to shape the political landscape of the state and potentially influence the national results.
Lok Sabha Elections Results 2024: Exit Poll Results
In an unexpected turn of events, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) appears set to surpass the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in West Bengal, as suggested by multiple exit polls. The ABP-CVoter survey forecasts the BJP securing between 23 and 27 seats, significantly outstripping the TMC, which is projected to win only 13 to 17 seats. The Congress-Left alliance is anticipated to gain just 1 to 3 seats.
Additional exit polls echo this sentiment. Axis My India predicts the BJP will win 26 to 31 seats, with the TMC trailing at 11 to 14 seats. The News18 Mega Exit Poll estimates a BJP victory in 21 to 24 constituencies, while the TMC is expected to win 18 to 21 seats. Notably, the Congress-Left alliance is not expected to secure any seats according to this poll.
Pollster Matrize presents a slightly different picture but still places the BJP ahead, projecting 21 to 25 seats for the BJP and 16 to 20 for the TMC. Similarly, Jan Ki Baat suggests the BJP will win 21 to 26 seats, compared to the TMC's 18 to 20 seats.
If these predictions hold true, it would mark a significant shift in West Bengal's political landscape, where the TMC has been the dominant force. The final results will be closely watched as they could have profound implications for the state's political future.
