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.

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.

In Assam, the BJP won three seats, while in Rajasthan, the BJP secured five out of seven assembly constituencies.

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.

The ruling BJP is leading in seven out of nine assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh whereas the Samajwadi Party had retained the Sisamau seat in Kanpur and was leading in Karhal seat in Mainpuri.
