A tough contest is expected in Rampur’s Suar assembly seat where Samajwadi party (SP)leader Azam Khan and his son Abdullah Khan have campaigned for the party while BJP despite leaving the seat for its ally Apna Dal (S) has actively campaigned.
The Suar seat, held by Abdullah Azam Khan, was declared vacant after a Moradabad court sentenced the MP to two years in jail in a 15-year-old case. In the 2022 UP elections, Abdullah Khan had defeated Apna Dal (Sonelal)’s Haidar Ali Khan by a margin of over 61,000 votes. There are over three lakh registered voters in Suar.
The SP has fielded Anuradha Chauhan from the seat and Apna Dal (Sonelal) has named Shafeek Ahmed Ansari. The Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party and Congress have not fielded the candidates on the seat. A total of six candidates are in the fray for this seat.
The bypoll in Chhanbey assembly constituency, Mirzapur, was caused due to the death of sitting Apna Dal (S) MP Rahul Kol. The party has fielded Kol’s wife Rinki Kol while Kirti Kol, daughter of former lawmaker Bhai Lal Kol is contesting as the SP candidate. A total of eight candidates are in the fray for this seat.
