Voting for the second phase of local body elections is being held today across 25 districts in Uttar Pradesh. The first phase of civic polls in the state, which covered 24 districts and was held on November 22, saw a voter turnout of over 52 per cent.
The third and final phase of the UP civic polls will cover 26 districts and voting will take place on November 29. Counting will be held on December 1 and results will be declared the same day.
The local body elections will serve as a popularity test for Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath nearly eight months after the BJP was elected to power in a landslide victory. It is also being viewed as an opportunity for Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party to regain ground in the state.
