Samajwadi Party elects Akhilesh Yadav as chief for five years
Akhilesh has been chosen as the party chief at a national meeting in Agra on Thursday.
The meeting was held at the Central Telegraph ground in Agra Cantonment.
Former UP chief minister, Akhilesh Yadav, got himself into a bitter power tussle in the party before the 2017 assembly election in the state, to establish his hold on the party.
However, SP, which had forged an alliance with the Congress to contest the assembly election 2017, was reduced to only 50 odd seats, while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) swept the poll bagging 325 out of the 403 seats.
