The Seventeenth Odisha Legislative Assembly was constituted after the 2024 Odisha Legislative Assembly elections, which were concluded on 1 June 2024, and the previous assembly term ending on 24 June 2024.
Brief history Following the BJP's victory in the 2024 election, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, along with his two deputy Chief Ministers, eight Cabinet Ministers, and five Ministers of State with Independent Charge, were administered their oaths of office and secrecy by Governor Raghubar Das at Janata Maidan, Bhubaneswar on 12 June 2024. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, and Chief Ministers from 10 BJP-ruled states attended the ceremony.
In 2025, the BJP won the Nuapada by-election, increasing its assembly strength to 79 seats.
Following allegations of cross-voting during the March 2026 Rajya Sabha elections, the BJD suspended eight of its MLAs and the INC suspended three of its MLAs from internal party activities, subsequently filing disqualification petitions with the Speaker under the Tenth Schedule. On 22 June 2026, Assembly Speaker Surama Padhy dismissed all 11 petitions due to procedural defects and lack of authenticated evidence, allowing the legislators to retain their full legislative membership under their original party banners.
