In the single seat from Dadra and Nagar Haveli, independent candidate Delkar Mohanbhai Sanjibhai won the seat.

Dadra and Nagar Haveli is a union territory of India spread over an area of 491 square kilometers. Lying between Maharashtra in the south and Gujarat in the north, Dadra and Nagar Haveli is inhabited by a majority of Scheduled Tribes namely Varlies, Kokana, Dhodia and Dublas. Since more than half of the populace is made up by the Scheduled Tribes, Dadra and Nagar Haveli is designated as a ST constituency. For two consecutive terms, the BJP won from this union territory. The major threat for the BJP is from the Congress party this time as the INC has nominated a very popular tribal leader Delkar Mohanbhai Sanjibhai.

He has won from here six times earlier and had become the MP. He founded the party known as Bharatiya Navshakti Party. Later he joined BJP and Congress jumping from here to there. He fought from this Lok Sabha seat on Congress ticket and bagged an encouraging result during 1991 and 1996 elections. In 1998, he joined the BJP. Then he contested as an independent candidate. In 2009, he joined the Congress party once again. There were rumors that he might join the BJP in 2014 and also in 2019. However, he chose to contest in the Congress ticket in 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
