Seat change
Against Maharashtra's previous Lok Sabha election (1967), matched constituency-for-constituency
- Retained35 (78%)
- Changed hands9 (20%)
- New seat1 (2%)
35 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 9 changed hands. 1 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.
