2024 House of Representatives Election Results: June 4 is here and eyes across the globe are on the clock as the world’s largest democracy gets ready to form a new government. While 2024 will be packed with elections in many countries, India’s general election will be one of the most crucial as a new government will be formed amid intense geopolitical tensions and widespread trade turmoil.
India’s neighbours, especially Pakistan and China, will be closely watching the outcome of the 2024 Indian Lok Sabha elections as it will have far-reaching implications for the regional security architecture. India’s status as a leader in South Asia has grown in recent years, and India’s proximity to Washington is a major obstacle for China, which is seeking to dominate the region with its expansionist policies.
Pakistan and India terrorism in the country has been hit hard over the past few years by proactive measures taken by the Indian Defence Forces. Pakistani leaders have made a number of comments about the 2024 Indian Lok Sabha elections, drawing strong criticism from Indian politicians.
India’s stance in the two global wars — the Russia-Ukraine war in Europe and the Hamas war in the Middle East — has been both praised and criticised. Amid intense geopolitical tensions, leaders of the warring countries will be closely watching how the Indian elections unfold.
