Comparative Analytical Brief: Shifts in Voter Behaviour (Delhi Lok Sabha 2019 vs 2024)

1. Overall Decline in BJP Vote Share


Across all seven constituencies, the BJP’s vote share in 2024 is significantly lower compared to 2019.
• 2019 average vote share ≈ 68%
• 2024 average vote share ≈ 54%
A drop of ~14 percentage points indicates reduced voter consolidation.

2. Major Losses in Previously Strong Seats


Largest declines:
• North East Delhi (−21.35%)
• West Delhi (−15.10%)
• Chandni Chowk (−13.97%)
These had been BJP strongholds with heavy erosion in 2024.

3. Change in Candidate Profiles


Many new faces were introduced in 2024, which may have weakened legacy voter loyalty.

4. Reduced Urban Middle-Class Consolidation


Vote-share drops in New Delhi, Chandni Chowk, and West Delhi indicate more fragmented middle-class voting,
driven by issues such as inflation, pollution, and civic concerns.

5. Impact of Opposition Unity & Local Factors


The decline suggests stronger opposition vote consolidation and increased issue-based voting.

6. North-West Delhi: Still Relatively Strong


This constituency showed the smallest decline (−5.31%), indicating a more stable BJP base.

Summary:
Voters in 2024 displayed reduced enthusiasm and greater issue-based decision-making, weakening the dominant mandate se
dle-class voting,

ning the dominant mandate seen in 2019.

Comparative Analytical Brief – Winning Margin Shift (2019 → 2024)

1. Major Decline in Winning Margins:


• All seven constituencies witnessed a sharp fall in winning margins.
• Average margin declined from ~31.0% (2019) to ~11.0% (2024).
• This indicates reduced dominance of the ruling party and higher competition.

2. Strongest Erosion:
• West Delhi and North West Delhi, which had very high margins in 2019 (40.1% and 39.5%),
dropped drastically to 13.1% and 19.6% respectively.
• Represents weakening voter consolidation.

3. Constituencies With Most Stability:


• New Delhi and Chandni Chowk maintained relatively moderate margins in both years,
though both dropped significantly (~27–23% to ~9%).

4. Voter Behaviour Interpretation:


• Voters in 2024 showcased higher electoral scrutiny and issue-based choices.
• Opposition consolidation increased vote share competitiveness.
• Anti-incumbency sentiment moderately increased across urban pockets.
• Traditional strongholds saw the largest declines, revealing shifting urban political preferences.

5. Gender & Turnout Influence:


• Reduced voter turnout in 2024 (as seen earlier) directly correlates with lower winning margins.
• Both male and female turnout decline contributed to shrinking leads.
• Female voter consistency still prevented even steeper margin collapses in several seats.

Conclusion:
Margins dramatically compressed in 2024 across Delhi, signaling a more competitive landscape and
greater voter willingness to diversify political choices. The urban electorate showed a shift from
landslide victories to closer contests, reflecting new political dynamics.
