After two rounds, in Firozabad, the BSP candidate polled 9,506 votes, BJP 4,677, SP 992 and Congress 355.



Results for six corporation seats have also been announced in Agra of which five went to the BJP and one to the BSP.

In Allahabad Muncipal Corporation, BJP's Abhilasha Gupta was leading with a few hundred votes while in the state capital Lucknow, Sanyukta Bhatia of the BJP was leading over her nearest SP rival.

In Gorakhpur, the hometown of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the BJP candidate was leading and in Moradabad and Kanpur too, the ruling party candidates were in the lead.
