The Karnataka Legislative Assembly is the lower house of the Karnataka state legislature, with 224 members. The tenure of the current assembly will end in 2023, and the state will go to the polls to elect a new assembly.
The election is likely to be fiercely contested, with the incumbent party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), seeking to retain power in the state. The BJP won a majority in the 2019 general elections and has been in power in Karnataka since 2008, with B.S. Yediyurappa as the current Chief Minister.
The main opposition parties in the state are the Indian National Congress and the Janata Dal (Secular), which have formed alliances in the past to contest elections. Other smaller regional parties and independent candidates may also contest the election.
The Election Commission of India will release a schedule of key dates for the election, including the last date for voter registration, the deadline for candidate nominations, and the date of polling. The election is likely to be held in the first half of 2023, although the exact date has not yet been announced.
The outcome of the Karnataka Assembly Election 2023 will have significant implications for the state’s political landscape and the policies that are implemented over the next five years.
