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

Bypolls for the Kadi and Visavadar assembly seats in Gujarat concluded on June 23, 2025, with BJP winning Kadi and AAP winning Visavadar.
The Kadi seat fell vacant after BJP MLA Karsan Solanki died in February 2024, while Visavadar's bypoll followed AAP MLA Bhupendra Bhayani's resignation and BJP defection in December 2023.
Rajendrakumar Chavda won Kadi by 39,452 votes over Congress's Rameshbhai Chavda with 57.90% turnout, while Gopal Italia defeated BJP's Kirit Patel in Visavadar by 17,554 votes amid 56.89% turnout.
Following the results, Gujarat’s 182-member assembly composition stands at BJP 162 seats, Congress 12 seats, AAP 5 seats, with Samajwadi Party and independents holding a few seats.
The bypolls reflect BJP's maintained dominance in Gujarat and AAP’s regained ground in Visavadar, while Congress’s position weakened further after its poor showing in the elections.
