    Dimple Yadav wins Mainpuri LS bypoll, keeps Mulayam's legacy alive
    The bypoll was necessitated after the death of the SP patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav in October.

    Dimple Yadav, wife of Samajwadi Party chief and Uttar Pradesh ex-CM Akhilesh Yadav, won the Mainpuri Loka Sabha bypoll on Thursday. Dimple defeated Raghuraj Singh Shakya of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) by over two lakh votes. The bypoll was necessitated after the death of the SP patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav in October. Shakya is known to be a former associate of Shivpal Yadav.

    Why does this story matter?

    • The bypolls were held with Gujarat elections and ahead of many crucial assembly elections next year.
    • It is believed that the result of these elections would set the tone for main elections and have ramifications on national politics. In Uttar Pradesh, a direct battle between BJP and SP made it a high-stakes election.
    • Dimple garnered more than 65% votes in one-sided contest.

    The thumping victory in the Mainpuri will give a political boost to the party at the national level. Similarly, Rampur Sadar assembly seat was a litmus test for it following ex-MLA Azam Khan's disqualification. However, BJP's Akash Saxena defeated SP's Asim Raza in a close contest. Notably, Shivpal merged his Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party with Akhilesh's SP on Thursday.
