The ruling party Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to win Uttar Pradesh for the second time in a row. In Uttar Pradesh, a ruling party has returned to power for the first time in 37 years. Yogi Adityanath, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, is leading in Gorakhpur.

Yogi Adityanath first CM to complete tenure and win a second term
On May 20, 1952, the first assembly of Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous state, was formed. In the last 70 years, the state has had 21 CMs.

Yogi Adityanath is fifth CM to win a second consecutive term
Only five CMs in UP history have won a second consecutive term, including Adityanath.

First CM to retain power in 37 years
When the state went to election in 1985, ND Tiwari of the Congress was the chief minister of undivided Uttar Pradesh. The Congress was victorious, as was Tiwari, who was re-elected for the second time in a row. Since then, no CM has succeeded in retaining the CM's chair for a second consecutive term. Adityanath is the first CM to do so since then.

First BJP CM to return to power
So far, four BJP CMS have been elected in Uttar Pradesh. Prior to Adityanath, the position was held by Kalyan Singh, Ram Prakash Gupta, and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. However, none of them were able to serve a second consecutive term. Adityanath is the party's first chief minister.

First MLA CM in 15 years
Adityanath will become the first MLA (member of legislative assembly) chief minister in 15 years when he will take the oath of office for a second consecutive term.

Third CM to complete tenure
Adityanath has already made a public record in his name. Only three of the 21 CMS in the last 70 years have served the full five-year term.
