Campaigning for the third phase will end on Friday. In this phase, 59 seats in 16 districts will go to polls on February 20. This phase is considered important for both the major parties BJP and SP. In this phase, there are many districts which were once considered a stronghold of the Samajwadi Party, but in the last elections, the BJP made a huge dent here and won 49 out of 59 seats. The SP-Congress alliance got 9 seats. The challenge for the SP is to regain its stronghold, while the challenge for the BJP is to repeat its previous record.

Chief Electoral Officer Ajay Kumar Shukla said that in this phase, 59 seats in 16 districts will go to polls on Sunday. Election campaigning will be banned here at 6 pm on Friday. In this phase, elections will be held in Hathras, Firozabad, Etah, Etawah, Mainpuri, Kasganj, Farrukhabad, Kannauj, Auraiya, Kanpur Dehat, Kanpur Nagar, Jalaun, Jhansi, Lalitpur, Hamirpur and Mahoba. He has asked the district election officers to provide all necessary facilities at the booths in the districts where elections are to be held.
