The 2009 Indian general election in Uttar Pradesh was a significant electoral event held from April 16 to May 13, 2009, as part of the 15th Lok Sabha elections. Uttar Pradesh, the most populous state in India, played a crucial role in the national political landscape, with 80 parliamentary constituencies. The election saw a fierce contest among key political parties, including the Indian National Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), along with a resurgence of the Samajwadi Party.
