Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav's wife Dimple Yadav is contesting from Kannauj against BJP's Subrat Pathak. The constituency went to polls in the fourth phase of the general elections on April 29.

Election Results 2019: Akhilesh Yadav's wife Dimple Yadav loses to Subrat Pathak 12353 votes.

One of the 80 Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh, Kannauj is a stronghold of the Samajwadi Party and was one of seven seats in the state which the BJP and its allies failed to win in 2014 Lok Sabha polls. The seat has been with the SP since 1998 when Pradeep Kumar Yadav won it for the party for the first time.

Kannauj had sent Socialist thinker Ram Manohar Lohia (in 1967) and SP founder Mulayam Singh Yadav (in 1999) to Parliament.
