Seat change

Against Maharashtra's previous Lok Sabha election (1991), matched constituency-for-constituency

Retained19 (40%)
Changed hands23 (48%)
New seat6 (13%)

19 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 23 changed hands. 6 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.
