Gujarat Assembly Elections 2022 Schedule


On December 1 and December 5, 2022, there will be two rounds of voting for the Gujarat Assembly. The first round of voting will be for 89 Assembly seats, while the second part will be for the remaining 93 seats. On December 8, the ballots as well as those from Himachal Pradesh will be tallied. On November 3, the Election Commission released the dates for the polls. There are 182 seats in the Gujarat Legislative Assembly. To take power in the state, a party must get at least 92 seats.

The BJP is well-established in Gujarat. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah both call it home. In the western state, the party has held the reins of power for 27 years. By capturing 121 seats, it initially took office in 1995. The BJP won 99 seats in the 2017 Gujarat Legislative elections, 16 less than in 2012. On the other side, Congress increased its seat total from 61 to 80 in 2017, a 19-seat increase.

According to its initial list of candidates, the BJP has pulled 38 incumbent MLAs from the ballot for this year's Gujarat elections. Several well-known figures, including Rivaba Jadeja, the wife of cricketer Ravindra Jadeja, who was attending for the first time, were handed tickets to the event. The head of the Patidar community, Hardik Patel, will run for office from the Viramgam district on a BJP ticket. After leaving the Congress in May, he formally joined the BJP early this year. Seven candidates who previously competed on the Congress banner are on the BJP's initial list.
