Gujarat: BJP nominee CK Raulji leading in Godhra
BJP candidate CK Raulji was on Thursday leading over his Congress rival Rashmitaben Chauhan after eight rounds of counting of votes in Godhra assembly seat of Gujarat.
Raulji was ahead by more than 25,000 votes over Chauhan in the communally-sensitive Assembly seat of Godhra, where the burning of a train had triggered one of India’s worst post-Partition riots 20 years back.
Raulji has been representing Godhra since 2007 as Congress MLA from 2007 to 2016 and as a BJP legislator since 2017.
Godhra, where communal fissures still persist and where voting takes place largely on religious lines, has around 2,79,000 voters. Of these, 72,000 are in the Muslim-dominated area.
Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) Rajeshbhai Patel and All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM)'s Shabbir Kachba are also in the fray.

How votes are counted for the Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh Assembly elections
Everywhere you look today and there will be one news report dominating it all: the counting of votes for the Gujarat Assembly and Himachal Pradesh Assembly.
Given the sheer number of votes polled, counting them isn’t an easy task and managing the voting and counting process has become an extremely complex affair, as the system has to be foolproof that provides least opportunities to any political party or ruling dispensation to subvert the system to its advantage.
As the country looks on at the results for the state of Gujarat — where the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is seeking for a record seventh term — and Himachal Pradesh — the saffron party hopes to break the tradition here too — here’s a better understanding of the process of counting votes and how the results are announced.

BJP hoping to set new records in Gujarat
When votes get counted on Thursday for Assembly elections in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party will be hoping to set a few new records.
Victory in Gujarat will make it the only party other than the Communist Party of India (Marxist) to have won seven straight Assembly elections. The CPI(M), which ruled West Bengal for 34 years from 1977 to 2011, had also won seven straight elections.
The BJP's biggest wish, however, is to see the predictions of exit polls come true, which is registering its best-ever performance in Gujarat.
Its best performance in Gujarat goes back to 2002 when the party had won 127 seats in the 182-member state Assembly. This time around, exit poll predictions for the BJP winning seats range from 117 to 151.
If the results come in line with the median value of these predictions, the BJP would have surpassed its own record of 2002.

Cong keeps fingers crossed as it awaits Gujarat poll results; outcome to define road to 2024
The Congress party may have its eyes firmly set on the Bharat Jodo Yatra, but it kept its fingers crossed as it waited for Thursday’s counting of votes for the assembly elections in Gujarat. The results will have long-term implications for all stakeholders.
The Congress had in 2017 delivered one of its best performances in decades, winning 77 seats. The 2022 result will demonstrate if it was able to arrest its political slide.
The party did not announce the CM nominee and Rahul Gandhi showed little interest in canvassing, taking only one break from his Bharat Jodo Yatra to attend a Gujarat rally. The party practically had to fend for itself.
“The low voter turnout is an indication of the voter’s mood against the BJP. People have voted for a change,” said Gujarat Congress spokesperson Manish Doshi.

AAP looks to 'Gujarat boost' for its national ambition
All eyes are on the Aam Aadmi Party as the counting of votes polled in the Gujarat Assembly elections begins at 8 am on Thursday as the outcome will determine the fate of the Arvind Kejriwal led party’s national ambition.
Aiming to breach the BJP’s Gujarat bastion, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) fielded its candidate to contest all 182 assembly seats and carried out a high decibel campaign in the run-up to the polls in Gujarat.
During the campaign, the party positioned itself and its national convenor Kejriwal as the sole challenger of the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi respectively.
The results of the high stakes polls in Modi’s home state will determine whether the AAP could successfully elbow out the Congress as number two in the tally and emerge as the principal challenger of the BJP.

The ruling BJP in Gujarat is aiming for a straight seventh term in the state, as the counting of votes for the Assembly elections held on 1 December and 5 December gets underway on Thursday morning.
The counting process will start at 8 am at 37 counting centres covering the 182 Assembly seats.
It was a high-stakes three-cornered fight between the BJP, Congress and AAP. Political observers said the outcome will determine who captures the main opposition space in Gujarat.
Exit polls have predicted a big majority for the BJP in Gujarat and if these projections are any indication, the saffron party is all set to retain power in the state for the seventh consecutive term and equal Left Front’s feat in West Bengal.

Gujarat Election 2022 Results LIVE Updates: Riding on the Modi factor, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is confident of retaining power in Gujarat while the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is looking to make a strong debut and Congress which was absent from hectic campaigning is seeking a favourable verdict as the counting of votes in the Assembly elections is set to begin.
Assembly elections in Gujarat were held in two phases on 1 December and 5 December. The approximate voter turnout by the end of the second phase of the Gujarat elections was recorded at 59.11 per cent. While in the first phase of polling, Gujarat saw an overall turnout of 63.14 per cent.
Days of the results of the poll, the exit polls have indicated a clear win for the incumbent Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Gujarat.
BJP has been in power in Gujarat for 27 years with Prime Minister Narendra Modi remaining in the Chief Minister’s post for the longest time before becoming Prime Minister.
Congress gave a tough fight to the ruling BJP in the last assembly elections in 2017. However, AAP may spoil the game for Congress by taking away a significant vote share in their favour.
The counting of votes for the Gujarat Assembly election will begin at 8 am. Elaborate arrangements have been made at all the counting 37 centres.
Gujarat Chief Electoral officer P Bharathi said that 182 counting observers, 182 election officers and 494 assistant election officers will be on duty for the counting process.
There will be an additional 78 Assistant Election Officers for the counting of votes. In addition, 71 additional Assistant Election Officers have been assigned responsibility for the electronically transmitted postal ballot system.
At 8:00 am first counting of postal ballots will be done and from 8:30 am along with postal ballots counting of the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) votes will also start.
CEO P Bharathi said that all the counting staff have been appointed. The second randomization will also be completed on Wednesday and the third randomization process will be done at 5:00 am on Thursday before the counting of votes.
A micro-observer, counting supervisor and counting assistant are assigned duty at each polling centre table. The entire counting process will be video graphed.
The EVMs will be taken out of the strongroom and set up in the counting hall in the presence of the Returning Officer/Assistant Returning Officer, candidate counting agents and observers appointed by the Election Commission of India.
CEO P Bharathi after reviewing the preparations for the counting of votes said that all necessary preparations have been completed at 37 counting stations in 33 districts of the state.
Local police will be deployed outside the counting centre campus. There will be a tight presence of the State Reserve Police Force (SRPF) at the counting location and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) outside the counting centre gates. No person or vehicle will be allowed to enter the complex except for officials on duty and specially authorized political representatives.
Notably, in 2017, BJP was also reeling under pressure with the ongoing Patidar protests but this time the situation is in BJP’s favour and the party may gain more seats compared to the previous polls.
