The Odisha Assembly Election 2024 seeks to elect 147 members to the Odisha Legislative Assembly. The state saw its top three political parties battling it out in the Assembly as well as the General elections. The three top parties are the ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress party. The contest is mainly crucial between the first two parties.
Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik has been leading the state for more than 24 years. If he wins again this time, he will surpass former Sikkim CM Pawan Kumar Chamling to become India's longest-serving state chief minister.
In 2019, BJP won 8 out of 21 LS seats in the Lok Sabha elections, BJD secured 12, and Congress only 1. BJD received 42.8% of the votes, BJP 38.4%, and Congress 13.4%.
At state-level, the BJD won a comfortable 112 assembly seats, BJP won 23 seats, and Congress got nine seats.
But BJP overshadowed the party in the Lok Sabha contest. In 2014, BJD had won 20 seats in the General elections, whereas BJP had won just 1 seat.
Patnaik, in an interview on May 30, said: "I see very handsome results in the state elections. We will form a solid government again in the state. And in the Parliament we will have a very good majority."
