On Monday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath exercised his voting rights in the by-elections for the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council. The polling for the vacant seats began at approximately 9 am.
The bypolls were necessitated due to two vacancies in the Legislative Council. One seat became vacant after Laxman Prasad Acharya resigned following his appointment as the Governor of Sikkim. The other seat became vacant following the unfortunate demise of BJP member Banwari Lal Dohre. Laxman Acharya’s term as Governor was originally set to continue until 2027, while Dohre’s term was scheduled to expire in 2028.
The polling commenced at 9 am and will continue until 4 pm. The vote counting process will also take place on the same day, with results expected to be declared in the evening. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has put forward Manvendra Singh and Padmasen Chowdhary as their candidates for the by-election. Both candidates currently hold positions as state vice presidents within the BJP. The Samajwadi Party has announced Ramjatan Rajbhar and Ramkamal Nirmal as their candidates for the by-election.
