Seat change
Against Madhya Pradesh's previous Vidhan Sabha election (1980), matched constituency-for-constituency
- Retained12 (4%)
- Changed hands303 (95%)
- New seat5 (2%)
12 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 303 changed hands. 5 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.
