Seat change
Against Madhya Pradesh's previous Vidhan Sabha election (1967), matched constituency-for-constituency
- Retained155 (52%)
- Changed hands118 (40%)
- New seat23 (8%)
155 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 118 changed hands. 23 did not exist at the previous election.
India’s constituencies have not been redrawn since the 2008 delimitation, so this compares the same seat boundary both times.
