After a gap of 15 years, Pradhan will once again enter the electoral fray in the Sambalpur constituency this year. The elections for this constituency are scheduled for May 25th.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Nitesh Ganga Deb from the BJP emerged victorious over Nalini Kanta Pradhan of the BJD, securing a margin of 9,162 votes.

Starting from May 13, the state will conduct its Assembly and Lok Sabha elections simultaneously in four phases. The remaining seats will go to polls on May 20, May 25, and June 1.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) emerged as the dominant party in the state, winning the majority of seats. The BJP secured eight seats, securing the second position, while the Congress managed to secure only one seat, trailing behind both the BJD and the BJP.

Vote counting for all phases will occur on June 4th.
