Exciting Gujarat Local Body Election Results LIVE: BJP Dominates Ahmedabad Seats Amid Thrilling Count!
Counting of votes for Gujarat’s local body elections is currently in progress after polling took place on Sunday. The elections encompassed 15 municipal corporations, 84 municipalities, 34 district panchayats, and 260 taluka panchayats, with results being closely monitored by citizens and political parties alike. Official reports from the State Election Commission indicate that the counting commenced at 9 AM on Tuesday.
In a significant development, voter turnout reached 55.1% for municipal corporations, 65.53% for municipalities, 66.64% for district panchayats, and 67.26% for taluka panchayats, as cited by news agency PTI. This election cycle was particularly notable for the introduction of voting in nine newly established municipal corporations: Navsari, Gandhidham, Morbi, Vapi, Anand, Nadiad, Mehsana, Porbandar, and Surendranagar. It represented one of the largest electoral exercises in the state as Gujarat gears up for assembly elections slated for next year, involving nearly 9,200 seats with over 4.18 crore eligible voters.
Early trends indicate a strong performance from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), with reports stating that the party is leading in over 182 of the 1,044 seats available across the municipal corporations. In a surprising turn of events, Rajubhai Dangar, a senior BJP leader and former vice-president of the Rajkot District Panchayat, has reportedly lost in the Movia seat.
In Valsad, the BJP made a striking capture of the Taluka Panchayat, securing 31 out of 32 seats available, leaving an independent candidate with just one seat. Conversely, the Congress party has faced losses, failing to clinch any seats in this Taluka, while also experiencing setbacks in other districts.
As the day progresses, additional highlights emerge, including Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) capturing Keshod Taluka Panchayat after a tie with the BJP was resolved through a draw. AAP candidates have also shown promise in several wards across different municipalities, while the Congress found some success with victories in Mehsana and Deodar districts.
Notably, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation elections revealed the BJP leading in multiple wards, including Chandkheda, where they defeated incumbent Congress corporator Rajshree Kesari. Positive trends for BJP are also being observed in various other local body elections, although losses for candidates from both Congress and AAP have been reported in different regions, indicating a competitive electoral landscape.
Count updates are coming in from various corners of Gujarat, with some areas experiencing celebrations as results are declared. The atmosphere is charged as the implications of these results extend beyond local governance, marking the political landscape as each party prepares for the upcoming assembly elections.
Stay tuned as further updates continue to unfold across Gujarat’s election results.
