Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav has announced he will not be contesting in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. This decision comes amidst the closure of nominations today, leaving the Samajwadi Party without a candidate in the Rampur constituency, a stronghold of party leader Azam Khan. Khan had previously requested Yadav to contest from Rampur, but due to unspecified reasons, this did not materialize. The decision was influenced by "harassment by the administration" during previous elections, leading to a strategic withdrawal on Yadav's part.
