The Hathras Lok Sabha constituency is one of the 80 seats in Uttar Pradesh. The parliamentary seat is currently held by BJP’s Rajesh Kumar Diwakar who won the seat with a huge margin of 3.26 lakh votes against BSP's Manoj Kumar Soni and SP's Ramji Lal Suman.

The seat, which came into existence in 1952, is reserved for candidates belonging to scheduled castes.  

Before Diwakar, Sarika Baghel of Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) won the seat in 2009 when her party contested in alliance with the BJP. Before 2009, the seat was won by the BJP for five consecutive terms beginning from 1991. Kishan Lal Diler won from here four consecutive elections from 1996 to 2004. 

In 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP has denied ticket to Diwakar and has fielded Rajveer Singh Balmiki (Diler) whose father Kishan Lal was a four-term MP from here.

He will face Samajwadi Party's Ramji Lal Suman, who is contesting as Mahagathbandhan candidate. The Congress has fielded Trilokiram Diwakar from Hathras. 

The Hathras Lok Sabha constituency is part of Hathras district in Western Uttar Pradesh and comprises five Assembly constituencies - Chharra, Iglas (SC), Hathras (SC), Sadabad and Sikandra Rao.

UP is facing a three-pronged battle between the BJP, the Congress and BSP-SP-RLD alliance. Under the alliance's seat-sharing formula, the Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) is contesting on 38 Lok Sabha seats of the total 80 seats, Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party on 37 seats and the Chaudhary Ajit Singh's Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) on three seats. The alliance has left two for Congress' Sonia Gandhi (Raebareli) and Rahul Gandhi (Amethi). 

The polling in Hathras will be held in the second phase of Lok Sabha elections on April 18. The results of the Lok Sabha election 2019 will be declared on May 23.
