Gujarat Local Body Election Results 2026:The BJP delivered a sweeping victory in Gujarat’s local body elections, reinforcing its dominance across the state ahead of next year’s Assembly polls. The party won all 15 municipal corporations and 78 of the 84 municipalities, while also securing 33 of 34 district panchayats and 220 of 260 taluka panchayats.In urban areas, the BJP maintained a complete hold, including in major cities such as Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara and Rajkot, while also marking its debut victory in nine newly formed municipal corporations like Vapi, Navsari and Gandhidham. Out of 1,044 seats across the 15 corporations, the BJP won an overwhelming majority, leaving the Congress and AAP far behind.The party also dominated rural Gujarat, though the opposition managed limited breakthroughs. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) wrested the Narmada district panchayat and made gains in select tribal regions, while the Congress secured notable wins such as in Ahmedabad’s Khadia ward, ending decades of BJP dominance there.AAP’s urban presence shrank significantly compared to its 2021 performance, particularly in Surat, while the Congress saw a decline in its overall tally across local bodies. Despite scattered gains by opposition parties, the results underline the BJP’s continued electoral supremacy across both cities and villages.The elections, held across 9,200 seats with over 4.18 crore eligible voters, are being seen as a key indicator of voter sentiment ahead of the upcoming Gujarat Assembly elections.
