Lakhimpur Kheri and Pilibhit recorded the highest turnout in the fourth phase of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly election on Wednesday.
Four farmers were run over in Lakhimpur Kheri last October by cars allegedly carrying BJP workers, including Ashish Mishra, son of Union Minister Ajay Mishra.
Election Commission data showed that Kheri recorded a 66.32% turnout and Pilibhit 67.16%. The number was higher than the average turnout of 61.52% in 59 constituencies spread over nine districts that voted in the fourth phase but almost similar to the 2017 figures when Pilibhit recorded 66.5% and Kheri 67.9%. At 57.33%, Unnao recorded the lowest percentage. Lucknow saw 60.05%.
