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.
