Success rate of women candidates in Indian general elections 1967-2024
The success rate of women candidates in the general elections in India was nine percent in the 2024 elections. This was a significant decrease compared to the 43 percent success rate in 1967. Although the number of women contesting the Lok Sabha elections increased, very few were able to secure a win, which led to a decline in their success rates over the years.
