NGOs and other citizen led organizations, has been working on electoral reforms, improving democracy and

governance in India. This is a press release for results of these elections for Lok Sabha constituencies

parties, only 36 parties have been successful in sending one or more MPs into the Lok Sabha. 333 parties that contested elections did not win even a single seat. And 19 parites have 3 or less MPs in the newly formed Lok

MPs with criminal background: There are 150 newly elected MPs with criminal cases pending against them. Out of these, there are 73 MPs having serious charges against them. Here is the high level summary of the new lok sabha:
