US EditionAAP Candidate Gopal Italia Wins Visavadar Assembly Bypoll by Margin of 17,554 Votes
- The Aam Aadmi Party's Gopal Italia won the Visavadar Assembly by-election on June 23, 2025, in Gujarat by defeating BJP's Kirit Patel.
- The bypoll followed the resignation of AAP MLA Bhupendra Bhayani, who joined BJP in December 2023, leaving the Visavadar seat vacant since then.
- Italia secured 75,942 votes, defeating Patel who received 58,388 votes, with counting completed in 21 rounds and the margin of victory being 17,554 votes.
- Visavadar has been outside BJP's control since 2007 despite the party’s statewide dominance, and Italia’s win is seen as a boost for AAP in Gujarat's political landscape.
- This result strengthens AAP's presence in Gujarat, while BJP retained the Kadi seat in another by-election triggered by the death of BJP MLA Karsan Solanki.
