Maharashtra plays a decisive role in Indian politics, with its 288 Assembly constituencies and 48 Lok Sabha seats shaping the balance of power both in the state and at the Centre. Over the last four election cycles (2009, 2014, 2019, and 2024), the political landscape has witnessed dramatic shifts — from coalition governments to single-party dominance.
In the 2024 Assembly elections, voter turnout crossed nearly 66%, with major parties such as BJP, Shiv Sena, NCP, and INC securing significant representation. The BJP emerged as the single largest party with 132 seats, while the opposition combined managed a strong performance across urban and rural belts. These numbers reflect not just party strategies, but also the priorities of Maharashtra’s over 9.7 crore voters.
Lok Sabha elections too highlight Maharashtra’s critical influence in national politics. In 2024, out of 48 seats, INC won the highest seats with 13 MPs, followed by SHSUBT and BJP both winning 9 seats each, and rest of the parties making the other MP seats. Compared to 2019, smaller regional parties lost ground, showing a consolidation of power among the top 5.
Looking at the trends from 2009 to 2024, Maharashtra’s elections demonstrate the dynamic nature of democracy — shifting alliances, evolving voter priorities, and the growing impact of youth and first-time voters.
