BJP is projected to win 239 to 245 of the 403 seats, with the Samajwadi Party finishing a distant second with 119-125 seats, though more than doubling its 2017 tally. Congress could end up with five to eight seats, not very different from the seven it won in 2017. If the projections turn out to be accurate, Yogi Adityanath would become the first chief minister in UP to serve two consecutive terms.
