Leads in Gujarat:
BJP: 93
Congress: 83
Others: 3

Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani leading by 1800 votes from Rajkot West. He was trailing earlier. 

The elections for 182-seat Assembly were held on December 9 and 14, after an acrimonious campaign, which was dominated by a face-off between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress president Rahul Gandhi.

In the 2012 elections, the BJP had won 115 seats while the Congress emerged victorious on 61 seats. The BJP has been in power in the state since 1995, winning consecutive elections in the home state of Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah.


The main contestants from the BJP are Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani (Rajkot West), Deputy Chief Minister Nitin Patel (Mehsana) and state BJP unit president Jitu Vaghani (Bhavnagar West).


The main contenders from the Congress are Shaktisinh
Gohil (Mandvi), Arjun Modhvadia (Porbandar), Siddharth Patel (Dabhoi), and Paresh Dhanai (Amreli).


BJP senior leader and the party's national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya says its too early to decide which way Gujarat is headed.
