UP Nikay Chunav Results 2023: BJP Disappoints SP And BSP, Wins All 17 Mayoral Seats

UP Nagar Nikay Chunav Results 2023: The votes for the urban local body (ULB) polls in Uttar Pradesh were counted on Saturday. Seventeen mayors were elected after the results were declared on Saturday with Shahjahanpur getting its first mayor, as the city became a municipal corporation in 2018. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won all 17 mayoral seats including Jhansi, Saharanpur, Mathura, Ayodhya, Moradabad, Bareilly, Meerut, Kanpur, Prayagraj, Agra, Aligarh, Firozabad, Lucknow, Gorakhpur, Varanasi, Ghaziabad, and Shahjahanpur.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath thanked people and congratulated BJP workers on the party's massive victory in the urban local body polls and for forming a "triple-engine government" in the state.

"Hearty congratulations to all the dedicated and hardworking workers of the BJP and the people of Uttar Pradesh, who love good governance, on the massive victory of the BJP in the Uttar Pradesh municipal elections," he said in a tweet in Hindi.

Adityanath had led the campaign for the urban local body polls, holding several election meetings across the state. During the campaign, he had repeatedly urged voters to add a third wheel or third engine to the "double-engine" government in Uttar Pradesh.
