Background
[edit]The bye elections for Dadraul, Lucknow East and Gainsari were necessitated after their respective mla's died. The bye election in Dudhdhi was scheduled after its sitting mla was disqualified. All of these bypolls happened along with the 2024 Indian general election. The bypolls in rest of the constituencies (barring Sishamau), happened due to their mla's being elected to the Lok Sabha. The bye election to these 9 seats happened on 20 November and the results were declared on 23 November.[2]
