A day after the announcement of Lok Sabha election results, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has officially passed a resolution to elect Narendra Modi as the leader of the alliance, making it official that he will be the Prime Minister of India for the third consecutive time.

The resolution was passed unanimously on 5th June 2024 after NDA partners held a meeting at PM Modi’s official residence in New Delhi.

At the meeting, the BJP secured the support of 293 MPs, well ahead of the majority mark. While the pre-poll alliance has 292 MPs including BJP’s 240, Sikkim Krantikari Morcha with 1 MP joined the meeting and signed the letter confirming support to the BJP-led alliance.

Leaders of TDP, JD(U), Shiv Sena, NCP, JD(S) and other NDA members attended the meeting. While it was reported that NCP’s Ajit Pawar skipped the meeting, party leader Praful Patel was there.

The resolution letter issued after the meeting lauded the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the development of the country in every field. It also highlighted that it is after six decades that the voters have elected a strong government with an absolute majority for the third consecutive time.

It read, "India’s 140 crore countrymen have seen the country developing in every field in the last 10 years due to the public welfare policies of the NDA government under the leadership of respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. After a very long gap, of almost 6 decades, the people of India have elected a strong leadership with an absolute majority for the third consecutive time."

Electing Narendra Modi as the leader of the alliance, it added, "We all are proud that NDA fought and won the 2024 Lok Sabha elections unitedly under the leadership of respected Shri Narendra Modi ji. We all unanimously choose respected NDA leader Shri Narendra Modi as our leader."
