When will the next Prime Minister of India be elected?

The next Prime Minister of India will be elected in 2029, when the general election to the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the parliament, is held to determine the central government. The Prime Minister is usually the leader of the winning political party or coalition of parties. Each Lok Sabha term is five years, at the end of which a fresh election is held unless the Lok Sabha is dissolved earlier because of reasons such as loss of support for the government. The previous general election was held in 2024. Unless early elections are called, the next vote will follow this electoral cycle.
