In the Uttar Pradesh Lok Sabha elections of 2024, the Samajwadi Party (SP) has won 37 seats, according to recent updates. This is a significant development in the political landscape of the state, where there are 80 Lok Sabha constituencies in total.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the opposition INDIA bloc, which includes the Congress and the Samajwadi Party, are in a close competition for seats. Initial rounds of vote counting on June 4 showed a neck-and-neck race between these two major political forces.
The BJP, along with its coalition partners Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) and Apna Dal (Sonelal), is leading in 33, 2, and 1 constituency respectively, according to the latest trends. However, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), which had won 10 seats in the previous Lok Sabha elections, seems to have lost its presence in the current scenario.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is leading from Varanasi, a key constituency in Uttar Pradesh. The state sends 80 parliamentarians to the Lok Sabha, making it one of the most crucial battlegrounds in Indian politics.
This time around, the SP and Congress have formed a pre-poll alliance, with the Congress fielding candidates in 17 seats and the SP in 63 seats under a seat-sharing agreement.
Some key constituencies where the ruling BJP is leading include Kairana, Badaun, Etah, Hardoi, Unnao, and Rampur. Meanwhile, the principal opposition Congress is ahead in seats like Saharanpur, Amroha, Fatehpur Sikri, Sitapur, Barabanki, Rae Bareli, Amethi, and Allahabad.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP had secured a massive victory in Uttar Pradesh, winning 62 seats and significantly weakening the Congress, which managed to win just one seat.
The final results of the Uttar Pradesh elections will shape the political landscape of the state and indicate the preferences of its diverse electorate towards different political parties and alliances.
