Uttar Pradesh 2022: Yogi Adityanath wins Gorakhpur urban seat

In a mark of true assertion of his authority and his style of governance, incumbent Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has won from Gorakhpur urban. He is expected to give his winning speech at around 5 pm at BJP head office in Lucknow as trends establish an authoritative lead for the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Hardcore political rivals throughout the election campaigning but still winners in the end. Both incumbent chief minister Yogi Adityanath and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav won from their constituencies, Gorakhpur Urban and Karhal respectively.

A total of 381 NOTA votes was polled so far in the key constituency.


Adityanath, contesting his first assembly election, did not seem to be getting much fight from rivals on the Gorakhpur seat.

While Adityanath was watching the poll outcome from his official residence in Lucknow, his supporters at the Gorakhpur Math and also at the party office started celebrating his and the BJP's victory in the state.

A large number of party workers had already gathered at the BJP's party office in Beniganj in Gorakhpur. They were raising slogans like "Modi-Yogi zindabad" and "Jai Shri Ram".

Some of them also burst crackers and took out a small march.

A lot of people had also gathered at the Hindu Sevashram in Gorakhnath temple. They have been watching the election results on big TV screen.

Meanwhile, only a handful of people were present at the Samajwadi Party's office here.
