SP and Congress Negotiate Seat Sharing Ahead of 2027 Uttar Pradesh Elections
Ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, the Samajwadi Party (SP) and Congress are negotiating seat-sharing amid internal tensions. Congress demands contesting at least 150 seats, citing its organizational strength, while SP emphasizes winning potential over numbers. SP chief Akhilesh Yadav has avoided direct talks, citing Rajya Sabha election duties. Surveys show BJP-led alliances leading in key regions, and the upcoming October Rajya Sabha polls are seen as a test of political arithmetic. Both parties stress the importance of alliance unity despite public disagreements.
