As the late noon results came pouring in, BJP alliance NDA's Muslim face Haidar Ali Khan trailed in the Uttar Pradesh seat of Suar with 22,793 seats as opposed to the 44,556 seats won by Samajwadi Party's Mohammad Abdullah Azam Khan.
Khan was declared earlier on January 13 as the Congress candidate from the Suar assembly constituency. Khan's father Nawab Kazim Ali Khan is still in the Congress and is to fight the assembly elections from the neighbouring Rampur seat.
Khan had left the Congress even after figuring in the first list of Congress candidates declared.
Earlier in the 2017 assembly elections, Abdullah Azam Khan, son of veteran Samajwadi Party leader and Rampur MP Azam Khan, had fought from the Suar assembly seat as an SP candidate and had won it.
