In the 1998 Lok Sabha elections, the Baramati constituency in Maharashtra was notably represented by Sharad Pawar of the Indian National Congress (INC), who achieved a significant victory by securing 529,059 votes, which accounted for 65.81% of the total votes cast.

His closest rival, Viraj Babulal Kakade from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), garnered 260,875 votes, translating to 32.45%. The elections took place in three phases on February 16, 22, and 18, with approximately 803,000 votes cast in Baramati.

This election was part of a larger national context where the INC won a total of 33 seats in Maharashtra, while the BJP and Shiv Sena alliance managed to secure a combined total of 10 seats. Sharad Pawar's decisive victory further solidified his political influence in Baramati, a seat he had represented multiple times before.

The election was significant not only for Pawar's strong performance but also for reflecting the shifting political dynamics in Maharashtra during that period, as the INC was regaining ground after facing challenges in previous years.
