The State Election Commission (SEC) said 353 counting centres have been set up. According to the SEC, 83,378 candidates were in the fray for 14,522 posts.  The two-phase polling saw about 53 per cent voters exercising their franchise.

In the 2017 polls, Yogi Adityanath in his first year as Chief Minister, guided BJP to a thumping win in mayoral elections by bagging 14 of 16 municipal corporations. BSP won two seats, Meerut and Aligarh, while Samajwadi Party and Congress could not open their accounts.

A day before the counting on Friday, the Samajwadi Party (SP) claimed that the election manual was recently amended, deleting portions related to the declaration of votes received by candidates after each round of counting. The party accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of plotting a "conspiracy" to "influence" the results of the local body elections and change the mandate of the people.

According to Manoj Pandey, the SP's chief whip in the Legislative Assembly, the election manual for local body polls includes a provision for writing on a blackboard the details of valid votes obtained by a candidate, invalid votes, and the total votes polled after each round of counting.

Furthermore, he stated that they must immediately declare these details, feed the data online, and announce the same via the public address system. There is a provision for announcing the results every two hours, he added. 

The local body elections are a stern test for the Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government with votes cast during the two phases of the urban local body polls being counted on Saturday. The results hold importance for BJP, Congress and Samajwadi Party as it will be a platform to showcase their strength before the crucial 2024 Lok Sabha election. UP sends a maximum 80 MPs to Lok Sabha.
