Gandhinagar Election: BJP Wins 23 Of 24 Declared Seats, Congress Gets One
The latest municipal election results from Gujarat have put the BJP in a strong position across Gandhinagar, Okha and Thara, according to the report. The results come amid an ongoing political dispute over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, with opposition parties accusing the BJP of benefiting from alleged vote manipulation. In the Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation election, counting was underway for 44 seats. The initial update reported that the BJP had won 19 of the first 20 declared seats, while Congress had secured one. A later update from ABP Asmita editor Raunak Patel stated that results had been declared for 24 seats, with the BJP winning 23 and Congress winning one, putting the BJP on course for a clear majority. In Okha, the BJP had reportedly won all 24 seats for which results had been declared out of a total of 36. In Thara, the BJP had won 15 seats, while Congress had secured one, according to the discussion. The results indicate a strong showing for the BJP in these local elections.
