The fifth phase of elections is to be held on 14 seats of Awadh and Bundelkhand. Votes for this will be cast on May 20. In the 2019 elections, 13 of these seats were won by BJP and one by Congress. In the last elections, in the SP-BSP alliance, SP had contested seven out of these 14 seats (Lucknow, Jhansi, Banda, Kaushambi, Barabanki, Faizabad, and Gonda) and stood second, while BSP had contested five (Mohanlalganj, Jalaun, Hamirpur, Fought in Fatehpur and Kaiserganj. In two seats, Amethi and Rae Bareli, SP did not field its candidates in support of Congress.
