MP from UP: Despite winning the Lok Sabha elections 2024, the membership of many MPs from UP is in danger. The future of these leaders depends on the court's decision in the case going on against them. If they are ever convicted in any case during the next five years, their MP membership can be lost. Most of these MPs belong to the opposition and have been accused.
Afzal Ansari has five criminal cases pending against him
In this, the name of Afzal Ansari, who has repeatedly won the election from Ghazipur, came up between nomination and voting. There are reports of his case being heard in the High Court. In the same incident, Afzal Ansari had also filled the form for his daughter. However, there was no threat to Afzal's candidature and he also won the election.

At the same time, several cases are going on against Azad Samaj Party candidate Chandrashekhar, who won by a good margin from Negi seat in this election. Charges have been framed in four of these.
