The 2024 Lok Sabha elections in West Bengal have been a closely watched battle between the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Voting took place from April 19 to June 1, 2024, and the results are eagerly awaited. West Bengal, with its 42 Lok Sabha seats, plays a significant role in India’s political landscape.
The TMC, led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, is striving to maintain its dominance in the state, while the BJP, spearheaded by leaders like Suvendu Adhikari, aims to make significant inroads. Early trends show a tight race between the two parties, with TMC slightly ahead in the count.

The vote counting began at 8 AM on June 4, 2024, and early results have been pouring in, showing fluctuating leads for both major parties.
