Pilibhit is a geographic constituency, one of the 80 parliamentary constituencies from Uttar Pradesh state in the Lok Sabha (the House of the People or the lower house) of the Parliament of India. The Pilibhit Lok Sabha constituency was created in 1951 under the Delimitation Act. After that the first ever democratic election happened in Pilibhit Lok Sabha constituency. Later, The Delimitation Commission of India again redefined the Pilibhit Lok Sabha constituency by adding Baheri Assembly constituency and moving Powayan Assembly constituency under Shahjahanpur Lok Sabha constituency in 2008.

The INC & PSP dominated Pilibhit seat for initial three decades after creation of the constituency in 1951. Later 1989 onwards Menaka Gandhi & Feroze Varun Gandhi, the mother-son duo from the Nehru-Gandhi family kept this seat under their influence for another 35 years by contesting from different parties or independently. Maneka Gandhi, who contested 1998 and 1999 lok sabha elections as an independent candidate, but later, joined BJP just before the 2004 Lok Sabha election. Since then, she has been a prominent face of the party.In the 2009 Indian general election, the BJP decided Feroze Varun Gandhi as its candidate from Pilibhit constituency instead of his mother Menaka Gandhi. Pilibhit constituency caught national and international attention due to highly dramatic political condition in the constituency. The security deposits of all other 15 candidates, including his uncle V.M. Singh of INC, and BSP nominee Ganga Charan Rajput was forfeited. [1] BJP decided to contest Feroze Varun Gandhi to Maneka Gandhi in 2014 Indian general elections from Pilibhit lok sabha seat. Feroze Varun Gandhi, who again fielded by the BJP, won the seat in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. His victory in the constituency reflected the enduring influence of the BJP in the region. Since then BJP has maintained a stronghold on this seat in the recent years. However, various political parties have allied to wrest power from the ruling saffron party and also the historical presence of the INC posed a threat to the BJP.

In a surprising move, Maneka Gandhi & Feroze Varun Gandhi the mother-son duo, did not in the fray from the Pilibhit constituency for the first time in more than three and half decades. As the BJP, announced Uttar Pradesh Minister Jitin Prasada as its candidate from this seat for the 2024 elections. Jitin Prasada is the great-grandson of youngest daughter of Hemendranath Tagore, brother of Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore [2] . Pilibhit Lok Sabha constituency long known for being a Gandhi family bastion, albeit of Maneka and Feroze Varun Gandhi fame, Pilibhit turned into a prestige battle for the BJP. The BJP hoped to effectuate a generational and a rather tectonic change in the politics of Pilibhit. A controversy was created during 2024 elections by SP candidate Bhagwat Saran Gangwar, when BJP candidate Jitin Prasada reported to ECI about the massive expense of Rs.3,648,884 on a single election rally attended by prime minister Narendra Modi himself on 9th April 2024. [3] As of 2024 general elections, Pilibhit's electorate is predominantly rural (82 per cent), compared to 18 per cent urban. Scheduled Castes (SC) constitute 16 per cent, while Scheduled Tribes (ST) make up a minute 0.1 per cent. In terms of religious demographics, Hindus electors constitute 65 per cent of the population, followed by Muslims electors at 25 per cent, and other religious groups at 10 per cent of total electors.

Pilibhit Lok Sabha constituency witnessed the highest number of contestants (total 40 including 35 Independent) in the 1996 election and the lowest number of contestants (total 3 with no Independent in the 1957 election. Also, Pilibhit is the only constituency in the history of the Lok Sabha, which have elected 'same female parliamentarian' for Six terms. [4]
