UP polls 2024: After the BJP, the Mayawati-led party also announced candidates for eight of the nine assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh. Polling for these seats will be held on November 13. Counting will take place on November 23, when the by-election results will be known.
According to the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) list, Amit Verma from Katehari (Ambedkar Nagar), Jitendra Kumar Singh from Phulpur (Prayagraj), Shahnazar from Mirapur (Muzaffarnagar) and Virendra Kumar Shukla from Sisamau (Kanpur) have been given Tickets.
Meanwhile, Dr Avinash Kumar Shakya was sent from Karhal (Mainpuri), Rafatullah from Kundarki (Moradabad), Parmanand Garg from Ghaziabad and Deepak Tiwari from Majhwan (Mirzapur).
The list of BSP candidates was released a day before the last date for filing nominations. However, the party has not yet announced its candidate for Aligarh.
It is understood that eight assembly seats in UP require by-elections as the MLAs from these seats became members of the Congress after winning the Lok Sabha elections. However, the ninth seat has fallen vacant following the conviction of Sisamau Samajwadi Party MP Irfan Solanki in a criminal case. The Election Commission has not made any announcement regarding the Mirkipur by-election in Ayodhya as the matter is pending before the courts.
Earlier, the Samajwadi Party announced candidates from Karhal, Sisamau, Phulpur, Katehari, Majhwan and Meerapur. However, the BJP announced candidates for seven seats today.
