## Background

After the 2017 LMC elections, Sanyukta Bhatia of Bharatiya Janata Party who got about 41.94% of total votes cast in the election became the first female mayor of Lucknow with the absolute majority of NDA in the house.

There were 14 candidates who won independently from their wards in 2017 LMC elections.

The delimitation process has been done by SEC after which the number of wards is same as it was earlier, but the several wards has been bifurcated and many of the wards are got merged into single. The Lucknow Mayoral seat has been given unreserved reservation this time by the commission unlike in the previous elections. There is a delay in conducting elections because of 3 months of stay order from Supreme Court to the decision of Allahabad High Court to have elections without OBC reservation. The elections are now expected to be held by the month of April 2023.
