Seats decided narrowly
Some seats were decided very narrowly. The SP’s Ajendra Singh Lodhi won Hamirpur by 2,629 votes, Ramashankar Rajbhar won Salempur by 3,573, and Anand Bhadauriya won Dhaurahra by 4,449. The margin in Aonla was 15,969.
The figure of 37 is not only a story of big wins. Three seats were decided by fewer than 5,000 votes and could have gone the other way.
Read it apart from the assembly figures
The SP won 111 seats in the 2022 assembly election. The 80 Lok Sabha constituencies contain the 403 assembly constituencies, but issues, alliances and candidates differ between the two polls. The 2024 result should not be used as a direct projection of assembly seats.
