Notes

  1. In the 2019 general election, no opposition party obtained the minimum (54) amount of seats to become the official opposition, and thus there was no opposition leader. Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury is the leader of the Indian National Congress party in the Parliament, which has the largest number (50) of seats in the opposition.
  2. In the 2019 Indian general election, no opposition party secured at least 10% of the total seats (55 out of 545) in the Lok Sabha to be eligible for the post of official Leader of the Opposition. As a result, the position has remained vacant. Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury served as the leader of the Indian National Congress in the Lok Sabha, which was the largest opposition party with 52 seats.
