In 2020, Allahabad High Court set aside his election for hiding his age in the affidavit. The Swar assembly seat was declared vacant on February 13 after a Moradabad court sentenced Abdullah Azam Khan to two years in jail in a 15-year-old case. The focus of the bypolls, however, will be on Swar which was previously represented by Abdullah Azam Khan, the son of senior SP leader Azam Khan. The Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party has decided to sit out the by-elections, the Congress has fielded its candidate only in Chhanbey and the political leaders are either campaigning in Karnataka or busy with the urban local bodies elections of Uttar Pradesh.Īs such, the hustings for bypolls to the two seats in Rampur and Mirzapur districts have been lacklustre. The by-election to Swar and Chhanbey Assembly constituencies in Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday will witness a direct contest between the ruling coalition and the opposition Samajwadi Party with the victor getting a moral boost before next year’s Lok Sabha polls.
