Vijay Rupani will continue as Gujarat CM. Nitin Patel retains the deputy CM portfolio. Rupani will also be the legislative party leader. The decision was taken at the legislative party meeting being held at Ahmedabad, which was attended by Arun Jaitley.

Rupani is the first BJP chief minister after Narendra Modi to face elections in Gujarat. He fought from a constituency (Rajkot West) from where Modi had contested his first election. He won by a comfortable margin from a seat that is considered safe and a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh stronghold.
