The BJP has begun working on a seat-sharing strategy with its National Democratic Alliance (NDA) allies for the 2027 Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh. According to sources, the BJP is preparing to leave around 60 of the state’s total 403 Assembly seats for its allies. Under this possible formula, the BJP could contest 343 seats itself. However, the final seat-sharing arrangement has not yet been decided.
The NDA includes the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD), Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP), Apna Dal (S) and Nishad Party. The BJP is preparing to allocate seats while taking into account these parties’ regional influence and social equations. It is not yet clear how many seats each ally will get.
Managing allies a major challenge
The biggest challenge before the BJP will be to strike a balance among the demands of all four allied parties. All the parties may expect more seats in areas where they have influence. At the same time, the BJP’s own leaders and workers also have claims on several seats. In such a situation, the possibility of discontent during ticket distribution cannot be ruled out.
Eye on opposition alliance too
On the other hand, political activity is also continuing over a possible alliance and seat-sharing between the Samajwadi Party and the Congress. In this situation, the BJP will try to maintain coordination within the NDA and prevent any dispute before the election.
For now, the 60-seat formula has emerged as a possible strategy. The final decision will be taken only after talks with allied parties and an assessment of region-wise political equations.
