The 1993 Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly election was held in November 1993 to elect the 320 members of the 8th Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly. This election occurred against a backdrop of political realignment and regional instability following the delayed 1990 elections. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), under the leadership of Uma Bharti, emerged victorious, securing a significant majority and forming the government. The Indian National Congress, led by its state president, faced considerable defeats, reflecting a decline in its influence in the region. This election was pivotal in reshaping the political landscape of Madhya Pradesh and set the stage for future electoral contests in the state. Voter turnout was reported at approximately 60%.
