Mewa Singh defeated BJP's Pawan Saini by over 12,000 votes, while INLD's Sapna Barshami came in at third position with just 11% votes. INLD's Sher Singh Barshami had won this seat in 2009.

As part of the Kurukshetra Lok Sabha seat, which itself holds historical and political significance, Ladwa remains crucial for any party looking to establish a strong foothold in Haryana.
