Samajwadi Party leader Dimple Yadav was declared winner on the Mainpuri Lok Sabha seat.
This election was a test for the Samajwadi Party’s (SP) first family as well, with Dimple Yadav, Akshay Yadav, and Aditya Yadav contesting Mainpuri, Firozabad and Budaun respectively.
In Mainpuri, an SP bastion that the party has never lost, sitting MP Dimple Yadav took on Jaiveer Singh of the BJP.
In Firozabad, BJP candidate Chandra Sen Jadon is contesting against Akshay Yadav and in Budaun, Aditya Yadav – the son of Shivpal Yadav -- is making his electoral debut against Durvijay Shakya of BJP.
One of the most keenly contested seats in the third phase, Mainpuri sent SP founder Mulayam Singh Yadav to the Lok Sabha five times. The SP has been winning this seat since 1996. The Congress last won here in 1984. In 2019, Mulayam Singh Yadav won by defeating BJP’s Prem Singh Shakya. In 2024, BJP’s Jaiveer Singh is challenging the SP’s Dimple Yadav. Dr Gulshan Dev Shakya is a BSP candidate.
