When Will Narendra Modi's Term End
Electoral Timeline
India holds general elections every five years. The most recent national elections occurred in 2024, returning Modi to power for a third consecutive term. The next scheduled elections will occur in 2029, barring extraordinary constitutional changes.
Current Political Pressures
Modi's influence score has declined to 11 out of 100 as of 2026, reflecting significant domestic turbulence. Recent weeks have seen mass protests over electoral integrity, including demonstrations demanding the poll chief's resignation and disputes over voter rolls. These developments indicate growing political strain, though they do not alter the formal electoral calendar. Domestic discontent may shape 2029 electoral outcomes, but Modi remains constitutionally positioned to serve until then unless early dissolution occurs.
