The Lok Sabha elections are coming closer day by day and We thought to remind you of the Belgaum MLA list. Recently, the BJP has already released its list of candidates who are going to contest the election in 2024 from Belgaum (Belagavai).
Belgaum MLA List – All Assemblies
We have collected all the information from the official site of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly. We do not know how many of you know this but our city, Belgaum was initially divided into two parts, Belgaum Urban and Belgaum Rural, when the 1st Assembly took place between 1952 and 1957.
Later on, it was divided into three parts, Belgaum 1, Belgaum 2, and Belgaum City during the 2nd Assembly and 3rd Assembly between 1957 and 1962.
From the 4th Assembly that took place in 1967, our city was divided into two parts Bagewadi and Belgaum till the 12th Assembly in 2007. Lastly, again the Belgaum district was divided into three parts Belgaum Dakshin, Belgaum Uttar, and Belgaum Rural from the 13th Assembly in 2008 till now.

The assembly was dissolved six times, from the 6th assembly to the 10th assembly and then the 12th assembly. But is the Belgaum MLA list important anymore? the list may not be important for you, but it is important for a lot of people doing research on the politics of Belgaum and it is important for political parties as well.
If you see there are 4 MLAs elected thrice:
- N O Samaji
- B B Sayanak
- Malagi Shivaputrappa Channabasappa
- Abhay Patil
If you look more closely you’ll understand how people have given their votes to parties. Whenever candidates won the election Independently, the assembly was dissolved most of the time.
Apart from this, the people of Belgaum are confused between the two political parties, INC and BJP. However, people now prefer BJP over INC but still, there is no consistency as of now.
