According to political experts, these elections are being considered the semi-final of the Lok Sabha election slated to be held next year. Considering that, none of the parties would want to leave any stone unturned to attain maximum seats.

According to an opinion poll conducted by C-Voter for ABP News, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is expected to win the civic body elections.
According to the C Voter survey, the ruling BJP is expected to secure 45 percent of the vote, while the Samajwadi Party (SP) is seen as posing a challenge to the ruling party with 31 percent of the vote share. Mayawati's BSP is expected to gain 8 per cent, Congress 7 per cent and others to outperform both parties by securing 9 per cent of the vote share.
A total of 17 municipal corporations, 199 municipal councils, and 439 nagar panchayats will elect their new representatives. As many as 1,420 corporator seats, 5,327 nagar palika parishad member seats, 544 nagar panchayat chairperson seats, and 7,178 nagar panchayat member seats will be up for grabs.
