17th Lok Sabha Will Have a Record 78 Women Parliamentarians(62 in 2014)

There were 8,000-plus candidates that contested this Lok Sabha election, of which around 700-plus were women. 




78 of these women have been elected to the Parliament -- a slight increase from the 2014 polls where 62 women parliamentarians were elected. 

Out of the total 29 states, women MPs were elected from 22, leaving seven states with no female representation in the Parliament. The seven states are Arunachal Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and Sikkim.

Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal have elected the highest number of women MPs with 11 candidates each. These states include prominent women leaders like Bahujan Samaj Party’s chief Mayawati and West Bengal’s chief minister Mamata Banerjee. UP and Bengal are followed by eight women MPs in Maharashtra, seven in Odisha and six in Gujarat

Odisha elected seven women candidates, five of whom were from the Biju Janata Dal, a state political party.

Jharkhand, Karnataka and Punjab also elected two women MPs each. The candidates from Jharkhand are one each from BJP and Congress. In Karnataka, an independent woman candidate and a Congress candidate won. In Punjab, one from Akali Dal and one from the Congress won. 

Five states and a UT, namely Uttarakhand, Telangana, Kerala, Haryana, Delhi and Chandigarh elected one woman MP each


From Alathur Lok Sabha constituency in Kerala, Ramya Haridas is the second Dalit female MP from the state. Kerala follows its 2014 trend of just one woman MP being elected from the state.

Of the eight states in the northeast constituting a total of 25 seats, three women were elected in 2019, which is one more than the last general elections. Of these, two are members of the BJP and one is from the National People’s Party (NPP). From the ruling NPP in Meghalaya, Agatha Sangma won from the Tura parliamentary seat by a margin of 64,030 votes. She comes to power after defeating former chief minister of the state, Mukul Sangma, of the Congress. 

In terms of political parties, the BJP has the maximum number of winning women MPs — 41 among all political parties. This partly has to do with the fact that the party won with a clear majority on its own by securing 303 seats.
