The bypolls in Uttar Pradesh represent a significant comeback for Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after a setback in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. In those elections, the BJP secured just 37 seats, while the INDIA alliance triumphed with 43 seats—37 of which were claimed by the Samajwadi Party (SP), and the Congress managed only 6.
