The Election Commission announced that 1,351 candidates from 12 states and union territories will compete in the third phase of the Lok Sabha elections on May 7. This includes eight candidates from Betul, Madhya Pradesh, where the election was postponed due to the death of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) candidate.

Notably, BJP candidate Mukesh Dalal from the Surat seat in Gujarat has been elected unopposed.

The general polls are being held in seven-phase to elect the 18th Lok Sabha. It will conclude on June 1 and vote counting will take place on June 4.
