The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) won seven of the nine assembly seats for which the bypolls were held on November 20. The NDA not only improved its tally over 2022, but also snatched seats like Kundarki and Katehari from the SP, besides increasing the winning margins on some and narrowing down the defeat gap on some others.

The Bharatiya Janata Partyhas won four of nine Uttar Pradesh Assembly bypolls held this week, and is leading in two others, as Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reasserts control over a state at the core of the BJP's Hindi voter base.

Results have been announced for the by-elections across 46 Assembly constituencies and two Lok Sabha seats across the nation. The results will impact 13 states, with key contests in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan,

Uttar Pradesh BJP president Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary attributes the party's bypoll victory to public trust in PM Modi and CM Yogi's leadership. He highlights the win in Kundarki as a rejection of caste-based politics and a mandate for the BJP's development agenda.

While much of the outcome was anticipated, the major setbacks for the SP appear to be on the Kundarki (Moradabad) and Katehari (Ambedkar Nagar) seats.

The BJP is likely to win 6, two more than what it won in 2022. Its alliance partner RLD is also ahead in 1 seat. The Samajwadi Party (SP), which stunned the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections, is ahead in just two seats.
