The 2024 general election was held in Uttar Pradesh in all seven phases from April 19 to June 1 to elect 80 members of the 18th Lok Sabha, with the results to be declared on June 4.
Uttar Pradesh, along with Bihar and West Bengal, were the only states where the 2024 Lok Sabha election were held in all 7 phases.
A total of 80 parliamentary constituencies were up for grabs, making Uttar Pradesh the single largest contributor to the Lok Sabha.
The road to Delhi is said to pass through Lucknow, underscoring the pivotal role Uttar Pradesh plays in shaping the national political landscape. With 63 unreserved seats and 17 reserved for Scheduled Caste candidates, the state’s electoral significance cannot be overstated.
In the previous parliamentary elections of 2019, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged victorious, clinching 63 seats, while the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) secured 9, the Samajwadi Party (SP) 5, and the Congress managed to capture just 1 seat. The BJP’s dominance in the state has been notable, with its victory in 2019 marking the second consecutive landslide win under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In a bid to counter the BJP juggernaut, the opposition parties this year have been strategizing intensely. The Congress and the Samajwadi Party have forged an alliance, with the Congress set to contest 17 seats while the rest will be contested by the SP.
The resurgent BJP, buoyed by its consecutive victories in 2014 and 2019, has been leaving no stone unturned to maintain its stronghold in Uttar Pradesh. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership and the party’s organizational machinery have been instrumental in consolidating its position ahead of the 2024 elections.
As the electorate gears up to exercise their democratic right, the battle lines have been drawn, and the stage is set for a nail-biting contest that could redefine the political landscape of Uttar Pradesh and, by extension, the nation itself.

Agra, Akbarpur, Aligarh, Allahabad, Ambedkar Nagar, Amethi, Amroha, Aonla, Azamgarh, Badaun, Baghpat, Bahraich, Ballia, Banda, Bansgaon, Barabanki, Bareilly, Basti, Bhadohi, Bijnor, Bulandshahr, Chandauli, Deoria, Dhaurahra, Domariyaganj, Etah, Etawah, Faizabad, Farrukhabad, Fatehpur, Fatehpur Sikri, Firozabad, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Ghaziabad, Ghazipur, Ghosi, Gonda, Gorakhpur, Hamirpur, Hardoi, Hathras, Jalaun, Jaunpur, Jhansi, Kairana, Kaiserganj, Kannauj, Kanpur, Kaushambi, Kheri, Kushi Nagar, Lalganj, Lucknow, Machhlishahr, Maharajganj, Mainpuri, Mathura, Meerut, Mirzapur, Misrikh, Mohanlalganj, Moradabad, Muzaffarnagar, Nagina, Phulpur, Pilibhit, Pratapgarh, Rae Bareli, Rampur, Robertsganj, Saharanpur, Salempur, Sambhal, Sant Kabir Nagar, Shahjahanpur, Shrawasti, Sitapur, Sultanpur, Unnao, Varanasi.
