Lok Sabha Election 2024: The high-octane campaigning for the sixth phase of the ongoing Lok Sabha election concluded on Thursday. The upcoming phase will witness voting in 58 Lok Sabha seats across eight states and union territories. The fates of 889 candidates, including several bigwigs, will be sealed in the penultimate round of polling scheduled for Saturday (May 25).

As part of the sixth phase, all seven parliamentary seats across Delhi will go to the polls. Similarly, all 10 Lok Sabha seats across Haryana will witness simultaneous voting on May 25. In the 2019 general election, the BJP managed a clean sweep across Delhi and Haryana. The Congress and AAP have teamed up against the BJP under the INDIA bloc banner in Delhi and Haryana.
