3 The seven vacant Assembly seats
The following seven constituencies were listed as vacant in the Assembly membership information reviewed on 22 October 2026.
| Assembly seat no. | Constituency | District | Previous MLA | Previous party |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 69 | Shikarpur | Bulandshahr | Anil Kumar | BJP |
| 93 | Fatehabad | Agra | Chhotey Lal Verma | BJP |
| 122 | Faridpur | Bareilly | Prof. Shyam Bihari Lal | BJP |
| 348 | Nizamabad | Azamgarh | Alam Badi | SP |
| 354 | Ghosi | Mau | Sudhakar Singh | SP |
| 358 | Rasara | Ballia | Umashankar Singh | BSP |
| 403 | Duddhi | Sonbhadra | Vijay Singh | SP |
The cited membership report attributes these vacancies to the deaths of the previous MLAs. A vacant seat has no current sitting MLA, even though the constituency continues to exist as part of the 403-seat Assembly.
For by-election announcements or changes in vacancy status, check the Election Commission of India and the Uttar Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer.
4 Where to find all 403 constituencies, MLA names and parties
The complete directory needs to be read constituency by constituency because names, affiliations and vacancy status can change over time.
Use these sources:
- Official Assembly member directory: Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly — Member Information
- Current constituency-wise table: All 403 UP Assembly seats, sitting MLAs, parties and districts
- Assembly membership by term: Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly — By Assembly
The constituency-wise table includes the assembly seat number, constituency, MLA, party and district. It marks the seven vacant seats separately, making it useful for finding the representative for a particular area.
How to find your MLA
- Open the constituency-wise directory.
- Search by constituency name, MLA name, party or district.
- Confirm the Assembly seat number and district.
- If the constituency is marked vacant, check the latest official Assembly and election notices for updates.
A district may contain several Assembly constituencies. Search by the actual constituency rather than relying on the district name alone.
5 Why can MLA lists differ between websites?
A list published after the 2022 Assembly election may not match the current membership position. Differences can arise when:
- An MLA dies and the seat becomes vacant.
- A by-election fills a vacant seat.
- A member resigns or is disqualified.
- A member's party affiliation changes.
- A website continues to display an earlier list without updating its records.
This is why a current directory should show both the constituency and the date on which membership information was checked.
6 How to verify an MLA's details
If you need the information for a complaint, official correspondence, a public meeting or a civic report, verify the MLA's name and constituency through the Assembly's official records.
The Assembly website allows searches using details such as name, party and constituency. It also provides information organised by Assembly term.
For election results and by-election outcomes, use the Election Commission's records rather than relying only on an unofficial list.
