The Nagar Nikay Chunav polls were held in two phases — on May 4 and May 11. According to Election Commission data, about 53 per cent of voters exercised their franchise, out of the total 4.32 crore who were eligible. Seventeen mayors and 1,401 corporators will be elected once the results are out. As many as 19 corporators have been elected unopposed.

With 50 public meetings in 13 days, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was at the front and centre of the BJP’s campaign for the state’s local body polls.
