Assembly Bypoll Results 2025: AAP’s Gopal Italia wins Visavadar, BJP retains Kadi; Congress bags Nilambur - The Statesman

The Gujarat assembly bypolls held on June 19, 2025, resulted in AAP's Gopal Italia winning Visavadar and BJP's Rajendrakumar Chavda retaining Kadi seats.
The by-elections were necessitated by the resignation of AAP legislator Bhupendra Bhayani in Visavadar and the vacancy left by the passing of BJP MLA Karsan Solanki in Kadi earlier this year.
Visavadar seat witnessed a close contest mostly between AAP and BJP, while Kadi saw BJP defeating Congress comfortably amid key voter turnouts around 57 percent.
Italia secured 75,942 votes defeating BJP's Kirit Patel by 17,554 votes, whereas Rajendrakumar Chavda won Kadi by 39,452 votes over Congress's Rameshbhai Chavda.
The outcomes strengthened BJP's assembly tally to 162 seats and restored AAP's presence to five seats, signaling ongoing party position consolidation before upcoming state elections.
