New Delhi, Nov 3: The Election Commission of India (ECI) is scheduled to hold a press conference today to announce the schedule of the Gujarat Assembly elections.
The polling schedule for the Gujarat Assembly election will be announced later today in the Rang Bhavan auditorium of All India Radio by Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar and Election Commissioner Anoop Chandra Pandey.
The election dates for Gujarat were not declared by the poll commission last month. Gujarat may hold two rounds of voting in the first week of December, according to ECI sources.
The most recent assembly elections in Gujarat were held in 2017, and the BJP won to secure a fifth consecutive term in power. The Congress obtained 77 members in the state house last time, while the saffron party won 99 of the 182 seats.
The BJP, which is now in power, the Congress, and the Aam Aadmi Party are expected to compete against one another in this year’s election. The Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP has begun a full-scale campaign to win over voters in the state, while leaders of the saffron party have exuded confidence that they will maintain power in Gujarat.
