What this countdown tracks

The clock above counts down to the Gujarat Legislative Assembly election in December 2027, with an indicative polling date of December 8, 2027. The vote fills all 182 seats of the Gujarat Vidhan Sabha and tests the BJP's bid for an unprecedented eighth consecutive term in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state.

About this election

Gujarat elects 182 MLAs via first-past-the-post; 13 seats are reserved for Scheduled Castes and 27 for Scheduled Tribes. The current Assembly's term ends on February 17, 2028, so the ECI typically schedules polling in late November or early December. Gujarat has been a single-party state since 1995, with the BJP winning every assembly election under Keshubhai Patel, Modi himself (2001–2014), Anandiben Patel, Vijay Rupani, and now Bhupendra Patel.

The 2027 election follows the BJP's massive 156-seat landslide in 2022 — the largest assembly majority in any state since 1985 — and a 2024 Lok Sabha sweep of all 26 seats. Congress has been hollowed out by defections, AAP's 2022 entry yielded only 5 seats but reshaped the rural vote-share map, and AIMIM and BTP retain niche pockets. The election will measure whether the BJP's organizational machine and Modi-Shah-Patel home advantage can repeat their 2022 dominance after a full decade of central rule.

Key issues

The campaign is likely to focus on Gujarat's industrial trajectory (semiconductor fabs at Dholera and Sanand, GIFT City, the Mundra cluster), water and the Sardar Sarovar-Narmada irrigation rollout, employment in MSME-heavy regions, the social position of Patidars and OBCs after the 10% EWS reservation, the management of the Statue of Unity tourism circuit, and the Saurashtra-versus-South-Gujarat development gap. The pre-2027 anti-conversion law expansion will also feature.

Past results

2022: BJP won 156 of 182 seats — its largest-ever Gujarat majority.
2017: BJP held 99 seats against Congress's 77 in the closest contest in two decades.
2012: BJP won 115 seats under Modi's third state government.
2007: BJP won 117 seats under Modi.
2002: BJP won 127 seats in the post-Godhra election.
