Guna, a significant constituency in Madhya Pradesh, witnessed a significant electoral battle on May 7, 2024, during the third phase of the Lok Sabha elections.

The Guna Lok Sabha constituency, part of a group of 29 such seats in Madhya Pradesh, has been a traditional stronghold for the Scindia family over the years. Notable political figures like Vijaya Raje Scindia, Madhavrao Scindia, and now Jyotiraditya Scindia have all tasted electoral success in this region. However, in the previous 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Dr. Krishna Pal Singh of the BJP clinched victory with a decisive margin.
