BJP's candidate from Daman & Diu Lalubhai Patel won the only seat with a 43% vote share.

Daman and Diu came into existence as a separate union territory following the Goa, Daman and Diu Reorganization Act of 1987. Till then it remained as part of Goa after 1961 when it was liberated from the Portuguese rule. During the first bye elections from here in 1987, the Congress Party won from here. With its single Lok Sabha constituency, the union territory of Daman and Diu elected BJP’s Lalubhai Babubhai Patel from this seat who had a margin of 9,222 votes than Ketan Dahyabhai Patel of the Congress party. Both of them had pushed AAP’s Kessur Goan behind whose result showed up only 729 votes.

In 2009, Lalubhai had fought as a BJP candidate and won by a good margin of 24,838 votes. Vallabhai Patel of the Congress party had then secured 28.97 votes from Daman and Diu constituency. In the Lok Sabha elections 2019, the top candidates contesting are BJP’s Lalubhai Patel, Congress party’s Ketan Dahyabhai Patel, and BSP’s Sakil Latif Khan. The independent candidate who is quite popular in the region and now trying to wage a tough battle with these candidates is Patel Umeshbhai Babubhai. The political experts say the entry of Umesh Patel and Sakil Khan has now made the game tougher for the ruling party.
