The next Karnataka Legislative Assembly election is scheduled to be held in or before May 2023 to elect all 224 members of the state's Legislative Assembly.[1]
Background
The tenure of Karnataka Legislative Assembly is scheduled to end on 24 May 2023.[2] The previous assembly elections were held in May 2018. After the election, coalition of Janata Dal (Secular) and Indian National Congress formed the state government, with H. D. Kumaraswamy becoming Chief Minister.[3]
Political developments
In July 2019, the coalition government collapsed due to resignations by several members of INC and JD(S) in the assembly.[4] Subsequently, Bharatiya Janata Party formed the state government, with B. S. Yediyurappa becoming Chief Minister.[5]
On 26 July 2021, Yediyurappa resigned from Chief Minister's post[6] and Basavaraj Bommai was sworn in as the new Chief Minister on 28 July 2021.[7]
