R Ashoka, who belongs to the Vokkaliga community, is running for re-election for the fourth time from the Padmanabhanagar constituency in Bengaluru. He is also contesting from the Kanakapura
constituency in Ramanagara against Congress leader DK Shivakumar. The Karnataka Assembly has 224 seats, and a party or coalition needs to cross the halfway mark of 112 to form the
government. In 2018, BJP won 104 seats, Congress 78 seats, and JD(S) 37 seats. After bye-elections in 2019, the BJP walked away with Congress and JD(S) legislators, and their numbers in the
Assembly increased to 120, while the Congress was reduced to 69, and JD(S) 32.
