The president of India is entitled to nominate 2 members in the Lok Sabha. If the president of India think that there is no representation (if no Anglo Indian member won the election) in the Lok Sabha from the Anglo Indian Community then he can nominate 2 members. The number of Members of Parliment will be reviewed in the 2026.
