The BJP emerged victorious within the Junagadh Municipal Company (JuMC) elections successful 40 out of the 60 seats, even because the Congress improved its tally, successful 11 seats, and the remaining one going to an Unbiased candidate.
Eight of those seats have been received uncontested by the BJP, and thus elections have been held on solely 52.
Junagadh was solely scheduled for normal polls among the many eight poll-bound municipal companies. The Congress had received just one seat within the 2019 elections, whereas the BJP had swept the polls successful 54 out of the 60 seats, with the Nationalist Congress Get together (NCP) bagging 4 seats.
The final election marked a big shift in favour of the BJP as in comparison with the 2014 elections when the BJP had received 41 seats, Congress 16, Bahujan Samaj Get together (BSP) two, whereas one seat had gone to an Unbiased candidate.
The BJP had captured energy within the maiden JuMC election held in 2004. Nevertheless, the next 2009 election was received by the Congress, even because the BJP returned in 2014. One of many winners on a Congress ticket in JuMC, Adremiyan Allarakhabhai Panja, had received on an NCP ticket in 2019.
