Bahlul nominated his second son, Sikandar Lodi (born Nizam Khan and died 1517) to succeed him. However, nobles backed the rule of Barbak Shah, his first son that had been appointed viceroy of Jaunpur. A power struggle ensued, and Sikandar eventually won the struggle against Barbak and his ally, Hussain Shah of Jaunpur. He proved to be a capable ruler, and was somewhat merciful to his opponents.

Sikandar's son, Ibrahim Lodi (died 1526), took the throne in 1517. His rule was problematic from the start, as nobles named his brother, Jalal Khan, ruler over Jaunpur in an attempt to divide his kingdom. Ibrahim had his brother assassinated in an attempt to consolidate power. However, he never really gained the support of his subjects, as he ruled with fear and was very strict and disrespectful to his nobles. Ibrahim tried to make his presence felt by retaking Gwalior in a military campaign, but Ibrahim's luck ran out against Rana Singa, the ruler of Mewar, who defeated his armies twice and drove him back. The Afghan nobles grew discontent with Ibrahim's rule and cruelty, and sent for the armies of Babur, the ruler of Kabul, to overthrow the Lodi dynasty.
