Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Chandni Chowk constituency profile, past winners, vote share and more

The Lok Sabha elections 2024 will be held in seven phases, and Delhi, the national capital, will go to polls on May 25. Delhi has seven Lok Sabha seats. While one seat is reserved for the Scheduled Castes (SC), the rest are unreserved. Take a look at Chandni Chowk's constituency profile, which are the main parties and previous election results and more.  

One of the National Capital Territory of Delhi's seven parliamentary seats is Chandni Chowk. There are 655,911 female voters and 791,317 male voters at Chandni Chowk in Old Delhi. Most of the core concerns are shared by the ten assembly constituencies that make up the Chandni Chowk Lok Sabha constituency. 

These include unapproved encroachments, heavy traffic on the roads, inadequate basic infrastructure, lack of water, and problems with ceilings. Some of the most well-known political figures in the nation, including Congressmen Kapil Sibal, Vijay Goyal, and Radha Raman, have opposed elections from Chandni Chowk, one of the oldest and original electoral seats in the nation.

From 1957 to 2019, a total of 15 Lok Sabha elections have been held in Chandni Chowk.  Of them, the BJP has won here five times, and the Congress (INC) has won nine times. With 2,00,710 votes (59.67%) out of a total of 780,445 votes, Sibal won the 2009 election in this location. Vijendra Gupta, the BJP candidate, received 265,003 (33.96%) votes to take second place.
