The only constituencies where the BJP received more votes than last time in UP were Gautam Buddha Nagar (Noida) in the national capital region, Bareilly, and Kaushambi. However, in Bareilly, the vote share was lower in 2024 compared to 2019, and only slightly higher in the other two seats.
BJP had polled just under 4.3 crore votes of the over 8.6 crore votes in UP last time. This time round, while the total votes polled in the state went up a little to just under 8.8 crore, BJP got a little over 3.6 crore votes.
