The widest and narrowest margins
The widest margin was in Rae Bareli, where Rahul Gandhi won by 3,90,030 votes. Tanuj Punia won Barabanki by 2,15,704 and Kishori Lal won Amethi by 1,67,196.
The narrowest was Allahabad, where Ujjwal Raman Singh won by 58,795. Imran Masood won Saharanpur by 64,542 and Rakesh Rathor won Sitapur by 89,641. All six wins came by margins above 50,000.
Place in the state picture
In 2024 Uttar Pradesh returned SP 37, BJP 33, Congress 6, RLD 2, Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) 1 and Apna Dal (S) 1. Congress’s 6 seats were the third-largest tally in the state.
The assembly picture is different. In 2022 Congress won 2 of 403 seats. The two elections were fought on different issues and alliances, so the 6 Lok Sabha seats do not yield an assembly projection.
