The 6 Lucknow Candidates Are:
- Lucknow North - Pooja Shukla
- Lucknow East - Anurag Bhadauria
- Lucknow Central - Ravidas Mehrotra
- Lucknow Cantt - Raju Gandhi
- Lucknow West - Armaan
- Bakshi Lake - Gomti Yadav
The remaining four candidates are: Munna Alvi from Bangarmau, Shyam Sundar Bharati from Bachrava, Tahir Khan from Isauli and Vishambhar Yadav from Baberu.
Interestingly, Mayank Joshi, the son of BJP MP Rita Bahuguna Joshi was rumoured to join the Samajwadi Party ahead of the Elections. As per some reports, his name was considered for the Lucknow Cantt seat, but as it is clear now, SP has fielded Raju Gandhi from the constituency.
Lucknow Cantt is a seat that has a dominant Brahmin vote share, thus, all parties are looking to field Brahmin candidates for the seat.
SP chief Akhilesh Yadav will be contesting from the Karhal assembly seat. Other prominent names are Nahid Hasan from the Kairana seat, Abdullah Azam Khan from the Suar assembly seat, Azam Khan from the Rampur assembly seat, and Shivpal Singh Yadav from Jaswantnagar.
