The upcoming by-election for the Karhal Assembly seat in Uttar Pradesh's Mainpuri district has turned into an intense political showdown, marking a crucial test for the Samajwadi Party (SP) and its candidate, Tej Pratap Yadav.
As the grandson of SP founder Mulayam Singh Yadav, Tej Pratap is fighting to retain a seat that has long been a Yadav stronghold and symbol of SP's influence in the region.
This election has heightened significance as SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, who previously held the Karhal seat, now focuses on national politics after his victory in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections from Kannauj. Karhal, which Akhilesh won in 2022 by defeating BJP's SP Singh Baghel, was vacated following his shift to the Parliament.
