Lucknow Lok Sabha Constituency Profile
Lucknow, the capital and one of the largest cities in Uttar Pradesh, is a key parliamentary constituency. Since 1991, the seat has been a stronghold of the BJP. The constituency's most prominent MP is former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who contested from Lucknow eight times. After initial setbacks, coming third in the 1955 bypoll and second in the 1957 and 1962 elections, Vajpayee secured consecutive victories in 1991, 1996, 1998, 1999, and 2004.
The constituency holds significant political importance due to its status as the state capital and its historical association with key political figures. As the 2024 elections approach, all eyes are on Lucknow to see if the BJP can maintain its longstanding dominance or if the SP or BSP can make inroads in this crucial battleground.
