The byelection was necessitated following the resignation of Samajwadi Party member Swami Prasad Maurya before the Lok Sabha polls.

The tenure for this seat will continue until July 2028.

With this win, the strength of the BJP in the 100-member Upper House has gone up to 79.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, state BJP president Bhupendra Singh Choudhary, and other senior leaders congratulated Maurya on his victory.
