It is noteworthy that in the 2022 assembly elections, AIMIM contested on 95 seats in the state. Although it did not win any seat, it did succeed in gaining 2.01 percent of the vote share. At that time, Owaisi had visited several districts for campaigning. When Owaisi enters the fray, it not only results in a dispersion of minority votes but also directly impacts the vote share of the Samajwadi Party.
