Gujarat Assembly Election 2022 Full Schedule: The stage is set for polling to get underway for the first phase of Gujarat elections with an intense round of campaigning drawing to a close on November 29. Gujarat goes to polls for the first phase of elections on December 1 when voting will be held at 89 Assembly constituencies. Elections to the 182-member Gujarat Assembly are being held in two phases on December 1 and 5.

A total of 788 candidates are in fray for the 89 seats across 19 districts of south Gujarat and Kutch-Saurashtra regions where polling will take place on Thursday.

Gujarat Elections Voting date:

Polling is scheduled to be held in two phases in Gujarat. While voting for the first phase of elections will be held on December 1, polling for the second phase will be undertaken on December 5.

Campaigning for the first phase of the Gujarat Assembly elections ended at 5 pm on Tuesday. In the last leg of its campaigning, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) upped the ante with party heavyweights campaigning across the state holding multiple public gatherings in a day. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, union Home minister Amit Shah, BJP national president JP Nadda, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath, and Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma were among the many top leaders who led the campaign in the state.

From the Congress party, president Mallikarjun Kharge, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi also campaigned for the party in the high-octane battle.

The state, which has traditionally witnessed a bipolar contest between the BJP and Congress, has a third player this time in the form of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). The party has positioned itself as the main contender against the BJP in the state, and Kejriwal has led a massive campaign in the entire state within five months since July.
