NDTV
UP Lok Sabha Bypoll: Both Azamgarh and Rampur seats have been strongholds for the Samajwadi Party led by Akhilesh Yadav.
The BJP managed to pull ahead of the Samajwadi Party as the counting of votes for the by-polls to the Rampur and Azamgarh Lok Sabha constituencies in Uttar Pradesh entered their fifth hour on Sunday amid tight security.
Both seats have been strongholds for the party led by Akhilesh Yadav. While the Azamgarh seat was vacated following the election of the former Chief Minister to the state assembly, the Rampur seat was similarly vacated by the party's tallest Muslim leader Azam Khan.
The counting process started at 8 am.
In Azamgarh, the the candidate from Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), Shah Alam, had amassed over 1 lakh votes, coming very close to both the BJP and Samajwadi Party (SP) candidates. This strong performance appears to have majorly impacted the Samajwadi Party's Dhamendra Yadav.
