The results of the Gujarat assembly elections are out. This time the Bharatiya Janata Party has created a new record. In Gujarat, which has 182 assembly seats, 156 BJP candidates won the elections. The Congress suffered the most. The Congress came straight down to 17 from 77 seats. Means Congress had to bear the loss of 60 seats. At the same time, this time only five candidates of the Aam Aadmi Party, which claimed to form the government, could win the elections. The SP candidate won one seat, while the remaining three seats were won by independent candidates.
BJP’s Nimishaben Manharsinh Suthar of the BJP defeated AAP’s Bhanabhai Mansukhbhai Damor by a margin of 48,877 votes in the Morwa Hadf assembly seat in Panchmahal district. BJP candidate got 81,897 votes while AAP got 33,020 votes here. Congress remained at number three. Its candidate Snehlattaben Govindkumar Khant got 22,184 votes, which was only 15.68 percent of the total votes. The deposits of the candidates of Congress and Praja Vijay Paksha were forfeited. Whereas, NOTA got 2,574 votes.
Independent got victory in 2017
In the 2017 assembly elections, an independent candidate had won the Morwa Hadf seat. In this election, BJP had made Vikram Singh Dindor its candidate from this seat. Independent candidate Bhupendra Singh Kant defeated BJP’s Vikram Singh Dindor by 4,366 votes. A total of three candidates were in the fray here. Apart from these two, the deposit of the remaining one candidate was forfeited. Similarly, in 2012, Savitaben Kant of Congress won from this seat.
However, he passed away just after the election results were out. In the subsequent by-election, Nimishaben Suthar won the seat. In the 2017 general elections, the BJP gave ticket to Vikram Singh Dindor in place of Nimishaben. Dindor lost this election. However, in the by-elections held in 2021, the BJP once again made Nimishaben its candidate. This time Nimishaben again put this seat in the hands of BJP. In the 2022 elections, Nimishaben has been elected MLA for the third time from Mova Hadaf seat.
The Morwa Hadf seat, which comes under the Panchmahal Lok Sabha, came into existence after the delimitation in 2008. Elections were held here for the first time in 2012. So far no MLA has been able to complete the five-year term from Morwa Hadf seat.
