BJP set to retain power in UP

The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to return to power in Uttar Pradesh as the party has crossed the halfway mark.

It will be for the first time since 1985 that a ruling party will be returning to power in the state.

As the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) looks to retain power in Uttar Pradesh, photos and videos showed the party workers seem celebrate outside its state office.

The Samajwadi Party has increased its vote share in Uttar Pradesh to 31.8%. This is a jump of around 10% from the 21.8% vote share it had managed in 2017. The party’s best performance before this election was in 2012 when it polled 29.12% of the votes. It had then won over 200 seats.

The biggest loss has been for the Bahujan Samaj Party, from winning 206 seats in 2007 and 30 per cent vote share to 80 seats in 2012 and 19 per cent vote share in 2012 to a mere lead on 1 seat with just 12.8 per cent vote share in Uttar Pradesh.

From 7 seats and about 6 per cent vote share, the Congress has been reduced further to 1 seat and 2.4 per cent vote share in UP this time despite contesting on all the 403 seats.
