Political parties in UP have been waiting for the past four months to go for another test of their electoral prowess after the Lok Sabha polls that witnessed a major debacle for the ruling BJP.
The ruling BJP is set to contest nine out of the 10 assembly bypolls in Uttar Pradesh leaving a lone seat for ally Rashtriya Lok Dal( RLD).
These 14 Lok Sabha constituencies -- 12 general and two reserved categories -- fall under 15 districts of the state.
After the win in Suar, now the strength of Apna Dal (S) has gone up to 14 in the UP assembly and Shafiq Ahmed Ansari becomes the first Muslim member of the BJP ally in the assembly.
The Suar assembly seat in Rampur district recorded an approximate voter turnout of 18.40 per cent till 11 am.
