Early counting trends on Tuesday morning showed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leading in 24 out of 26 Lok Sabha seats in Gujarat, with the Congress ahead in the remaining two seats at 9:15 am.
Gujarat's Political Overview:
The BJP is eyeing a complete sweep in Gujarat, the home state of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. In both the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP had won all 26 seats from the state.
Recent Developments:
In April, the BJP secured the Surat seat as its candidate, Mukesh Dalal, was declared elected unopposed. This happened after eight candidates withdrew their candidacies on the last day of form withdrawal, and the nominations of two Congress candidates were cancelled a day prior to that.
Current Trends:
Of the 25 seats where counting is underway today, the Congress was leading in Patan and Banaskantha.
The final results from Gujarat will significantly impact the national political scenario. Stay tuned for more updates as the counting progresses.
