Gujarat Election 2026 Results
The BJP established itself as the leading party for multiple municipal corporations and civic bodies throughout the counting process. The party currently maintains a lead over its opponents in various important cities, which include Ahmedabad, Surat and Vadodara as well as additional urban areas.
The ruling party had already entered the contest with momentum after securing hundreds of uncontested seats before polling, giving it a structural advantage in several areas.
Vapi Victory
Vapi brought the first major news story of the day when the BJP achieved victory, which confirmed its control over South Gujarat. Vapi had recorded one of the highest voter turnouts in the state during polling, making the result politically significant.
Ahmedabad Trends Favour BJP
The BJP has established an early lead across multiple wards in Ahmedabad, which currently shows early vote-counting results. Ahmedabad remains Gujarat’s most politically symbolic civic battleground and a crucial prestige contest for all parties.
AAP Loses Ground in Surat
The Aam Aadmi Party has suffered its worst defeat through its loss of control over Surat. The city of Surat which AAP once considered its first successful entry into Gujarat politics now shows signs of abandoning the party.
Reports show that Manoj Sorathiya a senior AAP official, lost the Ward 4 election while BJP candidates achieved strong results.

Congress Status
The Congress party continues its election campaign, although early voting results do not indicate which party will succeed across the entire state. The party is making efforts to win back its historical support in Ahmedabad and several other municipalities.
