Abhay Singh

Abhay Singh (born 24 May 1974) is an Indian politician and a member of 18th Legislative Assembly of Uttar Pradesh representing Goshainganj. He is an independent politician and had represented Goshainganj in the 16th Legislative Assembly of Uttar Pradesh.

Political career Active in the politics of Goshainganj, Singh as a Samajwadi Party candidate defeated Bahujan Samaj Party's Indra Pratap Tiwari in the 2012 Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election, but lost to the latter in 2017, who had joined Bharatiya Janata Party prior to the election.

In the 2022 Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election, Singh again representing Samajwadi Party from Goshainganj, defeated Bharatiya Janata Party's Aarti Tiwari, wife of incarcerated incumbent MLA Indra Pratap Tiwari, by a margin of 13,079 votes.

On 23 June 2025, Singh was expelled from Samajwadi Party, along with two other members, for working against party principles and voting in favour of the rival BJP in the February 2024 Rajya Sabha elections. The party, however, did not cancel their assembly memberships, rendering them as "unaffiliated MLAs".
