With the Lok Sabha elections 2019 inching closer, Republic TV and CVoter have presented the National Approval Ratings to give a complete national picture as to who will win if polls are held right now. For Andaman and Nicobar Islands, it is a straight fight between the BJP and the Congress.
As per the National Approval Ratings, the BJP is predicted to gain the seat the same way the party did in 2014 Lok Sabha polls
The National Approval Ratings project that the BJP with an increase in its vote share from 47.8% in 2014 to 48.8% in December 2018 could win the seat in Andaman and Nicobar.

- NDA: 48.8%
While the BJP has been winning the Andaman seat ever since 2009, the INC last won the seat in 2004 and its present projection of getting 41.3% of the votes mean that Rahul Gandhi's party, in Andaman and Nicobar has consistently declined in terms of vote shares.
In both October and November predictions in Andaman and Nicobar, NDA was predicted to grab the sole seat, leaving UPA behind in the island state.
