Modi's BJP & Allies Strong Favourites For Majority In 2024-Poll

INDIA

Latest opinion polling ahead of the April-May 2024 general election shows that PM Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) remain on course for a comfortable majority in the lower house of the Indian parliament, the Lok Sabha.

  • TheETG-Times Now pollcarried out over the course of September and published in early October with a huge sample of 135k respondents gives the NDA 42.6% support compared to 40.2% for the main opposition I.N.D.I.A alliance led by the centrist Indian National Congress (INC).
  • These polling numbers would translate to a seat projection of between 297-317 seats for the NDA, 165-185 for I.N.D.I.A, and 41-81 for other parties. With 272 seats needed for a majority in the 543-member chamber, even the low-end seat projection for the NDA would give Modi's alliance a third consecutive term in office.
