In an unprecedented event, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to win all 29 Lok Sabha seats of Madhya Pradesh, with Congress set to lose the only seat of Chhindwara it won in the 2019 elections.

BJP's tally has been increasing in the state by one seat in every Lok Sabha election. It won 27 seats in 2014, 28 in 2019 and is set to win 29 seats in 2024.

Bunty Vivek Sahu is leading ahead of former CM Kamal Nath's son Nakul Nath by 45,000 votes. Former CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan is leading by 3.87 lakh votes in Vidisha.

The biggest victory margin in MP will be in Indore as the Congress candidate withdrew his nomination on the last day and joined the BJP.
