With the 2017 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, Muslim representation in India’s most populous statehas plummeted from 17.1% in 2012 to 5.9%.

This is equivalent to Muslim representation about a quarter of a century ago, in 1993, following the Babri Masjid riots of 1992 (5.9%) and less than two percentage points higher than recorded in 1991 (4.1%) – its lowest point– according to an IndiaSpend analysis of data from the Election Commission of India and The Hindu Centre for Politics and Public Policy (Gilles Verniers, Uttar Pradesh State Assembly Legislators’ dataset), a think tank.

UP has 38.4 million Muslims–19.2% of its 200 million people – the most of any state and third, by proportion, after Assam andKerala.

Of 24 Muslim members of legislative assembly (MLAs) who won in 2017, more than half, or 14, had won from the same constituenciesbefore. A sixth of Muslim MLAs have represented their constituencies for the last 15 years at least. None are women (9.9% of new MLAs).
