Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri was elected unopposed to the Rajya Sabha from Madhya Pradesh after the withdrawal deadline passed with no other candidates remaining. Two other candidates, Rajkumar Lohani and Kante Sayanna, had their nominations rejected during scrutiny. The returning officer issued Puri's election certificate in the presence of senior BJP leaders and MLAs. No voting was required as Puri was the sole valid candidate.
