Every constituency is important in the Lok Sabha elections, but Gujarat holds special significance as it is the home turf of two key leaders of the ruling party: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister as well as election strategist Amit Shah. Polling for all 26 seats in Gujarat will take place in the third phase on 7 May.
With the cancellation of Congress candidate Nilesh Kumbhani’s nomination in the Surat constituency, and the withdrawal of the rest of the nominations, the BJP has won the Surat seat unopposed. Now, 266 candidates are contesting for the remaining 25 seats, including 19 women. There are byelections in five Assembly seats in the state as well, following the resignations of the MLAs from Vijapur, Porbandar, Manavdar, Khambhat, and Vaghodia. They left the Congress to join the BJP.
