UP Elections 2027: SP-Congress seat-sharing formula nearly finalized; BJP targets the alliance

Political activity has intensified ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. The long-standing deadlock regarding seat-sharing between the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Congress appears to be resolving. Speculation suggests that out of the 403 Assembly seats in UP, the SP might contest 328 and the Congress 75; however, the Congress is reportedly staking a claim to around 200 seats. The big question remains: what will be the final seat-sharing formula between the SP and the Congress? Will the Congress agree to 75 seats, or will a middle ground be found within the alliance? Meanwhile, the BJP has taken aim at the SP-Congress alliance, asserting that it is the BJP that will achieve a hat-trick of victories in UP.
