NDA Considers Advancing Simultaneous Elections for Lok Sabha and 22 States to 2029
The NDA is considering advancing the first simultaneous elections for the Lok Sabha and 22 states and Union Territories from 2034 to 2029. This could involve dissolving assemblies early in states where the NDA holds a majority, including Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, and Odisha, which already have synchronized elections. The Joint Committee on One Nation One Election is consulting stakeholders and plans to submit its report in the winter session. Some assemblies may see their terms reduced by three to four years to align with the 2029 Lok Sabha polls.
