In Phase 5 of the Lok Sabha elections, 57.5% provisional voter turnout was recorded across 49 constituencies spanning six states and two Union Territories. Notable candidates include Smriti Irani, Rahul Gandhi, Chirag Paswan, and Omar Abdullah. This phase witnessed significant contests in Maharashtra's 13 seats, with tension in Bengal's seven seats due to Congress and CPM's involvement. BJP secured 32 seats out of 49 in 2019, with key contests featuring Union Ministers like Piyush Goyal, Bharati Pawar, and Rajnath Singh. The next phase, covering 58 seats, is scheduled for May 25, with results announced on June 4.
