The people of Gujarat will vote in the first phase of polls today. It is a triangular contest with BJP having the edge. AAP is the new entrant in this election..<\/p>\n
Eighty-nine out of 182 seats in Gujarat will have their fates sealed on Thursday as the first phase of voting to elect the 15th state Legislative Assembly commenced.<\/p>\n
The polling began at 8am in 89 constituencies spread across 19 districts of Kutch, Saurashtra, and South Gujarat, and will conclude at 5pm.<\/p>\n
Some key constituencies in the first phase include Surat, Porbandar, Khambhalia, Rajkot, Jamnagar North, and Morbi – the site of the bridge collapse incident that claimed the lives of over 140 people in October.<\/p>\n
As many as 788 candidates from 39 parties are in the fray for this phase and around 23.9 million voters are eligible to exercise their franchise.<\/p>\n
While the Bharatiya Janata Party is hoping to safeguard its bastion from the Congress, the Aam Aadmi Party is looking to make gains in its maiden outing.<\/p>\n
The second phase of the election to 93 seats will take place on December 5, with results for both phases due on December 8, along with Himachal Pradesh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
