Akhilesh Yadav Alleges Delay in UP MLC Vote Counting, Demands Transparency
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav accused the Election Commission of deliberately delaying vote counting in the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council elections and demanded greater transparency. He urged immediate disclosure of round-wise results and warned of protests and legal action against officials if irregularities occur. Counting for 11 seats began on October 27 under tight security, with both the BJP and SP leading in several constituencies. The process has drawn political scrutiny ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections.
