Himachal Pradesh Election Results 2024 Live Updates: BJP clean sweeps Himachal Pradesh, wins Mandi, Kangra, Hamirpur and Shimla Lok Sabha seats
The BJP on Tuesday made a clean sweep in Himachal Pradesh, winning all four Lok Sabha seats.
Union Minister Anurag Thakur won for the fifth time in a row from the Hamirpur Lok sabha seat, actor Kangana Ranaut and Rajiv Bharadwaj made their maiden debut from Mandi and Kangra seats while former BJP state president Suresh Kashyap retained his Shimla seat.
The Congress not only failed to retain the Mandi Lok Sabha seat, which was wrested by state Congress chief Pratibha in the by-election in 2021 but its dream to recapture the stronghold of Shimla (SC) seat was also shattered as the BJP won the seat for the fourth time in a row.
However, the margin of victory, which was 4,77,623 in Kangra, 4.05,559 in Mandi, 3,99,572 in Hamirpur and 3,27,515 in Shimla (SC) in 2019 Lok Sabha polls, shrunk to 2,51,895 in Kangra, 7,4755 in Mandi, 1,82,357 in Hamirpur and 9,05,48 in Shimla, respectively.

Himachal Pradesh Election Results 2024: Campaign strategies and local issues
Kangana Ranaut’s campaign focuses on national leadership and Modi’s influence, with little mention of local issues.
In contrast, Vikramaditya Singh emphasizes solving local problems and preserving the cultural and religious traditions of the region, such as ‘Devniti’. His promises to continue his father’s legacy and support for local religious practices appeal to voters who value cultural preservation.

Himachal Pradesh Election Results 2024: Historical context and current stakes in the state
Historically, the BJP dominated the last two Lok Sabha elections in Himachal Pradesh, winning all four seats.
This time, the Congress was determined to break the BJP's hold by emphasising the accomplishments of the Sukhu administration and criticising the BJP's past promises that they claimed were not fulfilled. This election is being seen as a crucial test for both parties.

Himachal Pradesh Election Results 2024: The impact of past elections and party performance
The BJP’s recent success in the 2022 assembly election, where they won nine out of ten seats in Mandi district, boosts Kangana’s confidence. However, the Congress counters by portraying her as an outsider who was absent during the district’s recent struggles.
The historical performance and the deep-rooted connections of Vikramaditya’s family in the region play a crucial role in his campaign strategy, aiming to secure the loyalty of long-time supporters.

In the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha polls, BJP won all four seats in Himachal Pradesh. In spite of losing 2022 assembly polls, the saffron party sprung up a shock win in the Feb 27 Rajya Sabha election.
