​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

India’s 15th general Elections to the lower house of parliament, the Lok Sabha (House of the People), were conducted over a four-week period from April 16 to May 13, 2009. In India’s parliamentary system, the country’s prime minister is elected by a simple majority of the Lok Sabha’s 543 elected members. No single political party had been able since 1984 to secure a majority in the parliament. As a result, the country’s oldest and largest party, the Indian National Congress, had led a coalition known as the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) to form governments since May 2004.
