As per results trends, BJP is all set to repeat its 2014 landslide victory in Gujarat with the party leading by significant margins in all the 26 constituencies of the state.
In 2014 the party made a clean sweep of the seats in Gujarat, winning all of them.
BJP party president Amit Shah, who is contesting from the Gandhinagar seat, leads with a brute majority of over 8,30,000 votes. The prestigious seat in the state capital has been under BJP control for three decades.
Second-placed Dr C. J. Chavda of the Congress has garnered 3,20,000 votes.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
