The average age of MPs elected to the 18th Lok Sabha is 56 years, a slight dip from 59 years in the 17th Lok Sabha, according to an analysis by think tank PRS Legislative Research. The survey reveals that 11 per cent of the MPs are aged 40 or below, and 38 per cent are between the age of 41 and 55. The Samajwadi Party's Pushpendra Saroj and Priya Saroj are the youngest candidates to win the Lok Sabha polls at the age of 25, while the DMK's T R Baalu (82) was the oldest candidate to win. Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) MP Shambhavi Choudhary, who is also 25 years old, won the Samastipur seat by a margin of 1.87 lakh votes.

Another 25-year-old, Congress' Sanjna Jatav, is a first-time MP from Rajasthan's Bharatpur. She says while fighting the elections was a daunting task, the support of the public egged her on.

Pushpendra Saroj and Priya Saroj, who fought the election on a Samajwadi Party ticket in Uttar Pradesh, won the Kaushambi and Machhlishahr seats respectively.
