Despite a noticeable increase in the number of Muslim MPs elected on Congress tickets for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the overall count of Muslim candidates from major political parties has declined. This comes as a disappointment as Muslim candidates only make up 4.41% of the total MPs in the Lower House, despite the community's 14% share in India's population. However, the Congress still has the highest number of Muslim MPs with seven, followed by the TMC with five. West Bengal has the majority of Muslim MPs, with five out of the 24.
