General elections were held in India in 1996 to elect the members of the 11th Lok Sabha. The result of the election was a hung parliament which would see three Prime Ministers in two years and force the country back to the polls in 1998. The United Front was created and got support from 332 members out of the 545 seats in the Lok Sabha resulting in H.D. Deve Gowda from the Janata Dal being the 14th Prime Minister of India.
