In the upcoming 18th Lok Sabha, we can expect to see a significant number of new faces, with approximately 280 first-time MPs being elected. This is a slight increase from the 2019 elections, which saw 267 members entering the Parliament for the first time. According to a report by think-tank PRS Legislative Research, out of the newly elected MPs, 263 have previously served as members of the Lok Sabha. Additionally, 16 MPs have a background in the Rajya Sabha, while one MP has an impressive seven terms of experience in the Lok Sabha.
It's worth noting that out of the re-elected MPs, eight have switched their constituencies, while one has been re-elected from two different constituencies. Furthermore, nine re-elected MPs have changed their party affiliation, and another eight have represented a party that split from their previous one. This indicates a significant level of political shifts and realignments within the Parliament.
Out of the 53 ministers who ran for a seat in the Lok Sabha, 35 have emerged victorious. This means that the new government will have a strong representation of ministers from the ruling party, with the Bharatiya Janata Party holding the largest number of seats at 240. The Indian National Congress is the next largest party with 99 seats, followed by the Samajwadi Party with 37 seats.
Overall, the composition of the new Lok Sabha reflects a diverse mix of experienced and fresh faces, as well as a dynamic political landscape. It will be interesting to see how these new MPs will contribute to the functioning of the Parliament and shape the future of our country.
