The 2024 Lok Sabha election results in Uttar Pradesh have surprised many, with the Samajwadi Party (SP) emerging as the single largest party, winning 37 seats. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which had won 63 seats in 2019, saw a significant drop and managed only 33 seats this time. The Congress allied with SP under the INDIA bloc and won 7 seats.
Some key results:
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi won the Varanasi seat but with a reduced margin compared to 2019.
- Smriti Irani of BJP lost the Amethi seat to Congress’ Kishori Lal.
- Rahul Gandhi won from the Rae Bareli constituency, a Gandhi family stronghold.
- SP chief Akhilesh Yadav won from Kannauj.
- BJP’s Ramayana star Arun Govil won the Meerut seat.
- Defence Minister Rajnath Singh retained Lucknow for BJP.

The SP’s impressive performance is attributed to its “social engineering” strategy of uniting Yadavs, Dalits and Muslims (PDA). The party made significant inroads among Dalit voters, especially the Jatavs who traditionally supported BSP.
The results have altered the political dynamics in UP, with SP emerging as a formidable force and the BJP failing to repeat its 2019 sweep. The state will be crucial for government formation at the Centre.
Main Candidates:
- Yogi Adityanath (Bharatiya Janata Party – BJP) Yogi Adityanath, the incumbent Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, is known for his strong Hindu nationalist stance. Significant infrastructure projects and a focus on law and order have marked his tenure. His campaign in 2024 centers on development achievements and promises of further economic growth.
- Akhilesh Yadav (Samajwadi Party – SP), the former Chief Minister and a key opposition leader, represents the Samajwadi Party. His political strategy involves appealing to the youth and marginalized communities, emphasizing social justice and inclusive growth. He advocates for better education and healthcare systems.
- Mayawati (Bahujan Samaj Party – BSP) Mayawati, a prominent Dalit leader, has a strong base among the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Her campaign focuses on upliftment of the downtrodden and ensuring equal rights. She criticizes both BJP and SP for failing to address caste-based inequalities.
- Priyanka Gandhi Vadra (Indian National Congress – INC) Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has been a significant figure in revitalizing the Congress party in Uttar Pradesh. She emphasizes women’s empowerment, agricultural reforms, and employment opportunities. Her charismatic presence aims to reconnect the party with its traditional voter base.
Implications for Local, State, and National Politics
- Local Politics: The results will shape local governance priorities, with winning candidates expected to address constituency-specific issues. The election outcomes are likely to influence infrastructure development, law and order, and social welfare programs.
- State Politics: The election results could redefine political alliances and opposition dynamics at the state level. The balance of power between the BJP, SP, BSP, and Congress will influence legislative agendas and policy implementations in Uttar Pradesh.
- National Politics: Uttar Pradesh’s significant number of Lok Sabha seats is crucial in determining the central government’s composition. The results can affect the national political landscape, influencing policy direction and coalition formations.
Trends and Unexpected Outcomes
The 2024 elections have seen a surge in political awareness among young voters and increased participation from women. Unexpected outcomes, such as the rise of independent candidates or shifts in traditional vote banks, have highlighted the evolving political dynamics in Uttar Pradesh.
