The high-voltage Uttar Pradesh urban local body (ULB) elections will end today with the declaration of results for mayors and corporators in 17 municipal corporations, and for chairpersons and members of nagar palika parishads as well as nagar panchayats. According to the latest figures, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the state is looking well on course to continue its dominance in municipal corporations, while the opposition Samajwadi Party is giving a tough fight in municipal councils and nagar panchayats.

The results of the ULB polls hold significant importance, as the party that secures the majority of seats will aim to showcase its strength ahead of the crucial 2024 general elections. Uttar Pradesh, being the state with the maximum representation of 80 Members of Parliament in the Lok Sabha, holds strategic importance in national politics.
