Gujarat ABP CVoter Opinion Poll 2022: Political environment in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh is steadily hotting up as the assembly elections approach to elect new governments in both states. While the schedule for the polls in both states is yet to be announced by the Election Commission of India, political parties have already geared up for the contest.

Currently, CM Bhupendra Patel-led Bharatiya Janata Party holds 92 seats in the 182-member Gujarat Assembly while the Congress has 78 seats. Nationalist Congress Party and Bharatiya Tribal Party have one seat each and Independents have two seats in the House. 

To understand the mood of the voters ahead of the 2022 assembly election, ABP News teamed up with CVoter to conduct opinion polls in the poll-bound states. With seat projections, vote share percentage, and ground assessment done over a period of time, ABP-CVoter have come out with the key findings of the early opinion poll.

ABP-CVoter Opinion Poll | Gujarat Assembly Election 2022: Vote Share and Projected Seat Range

Bharatiya Janata Party 

The ruling party in Gujarat, currently with 99 seats, is expected to maintain its streak as the single largest party in the state with a projection of 135 to 143 seats, expanding the margin by 40 seats. However, the vote share for the saffron party may see a dip and settle at around 46.8 per cent against the 49.1 per cent vote share it secured in the 2017 assembly election. 

The projected seat range for the ruling party for the 2022 Gujarat Assembly election is between 135 and 143 seats, as per the ABP News-CVoter Opinion Poll. 

Congress

The main Opposition in Gujarat may see a significant reduction in its seat share and vote share in the upcoming election. As per the CVoter survey, the Congress party that won 77 seats in 2017 polls is expected to remain limited to 36 to 44 seats. 

The survey suggests that the party may lose its vote share by a margin of around 9.2 per cent, slashing it to 32.3 per cent as against 41.4 per cent in the 2017 Gujarat Assembly elections. 

Aam Aadmi Party 

Making its debut in the 2022 Gujarat Assembly election, the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party may struggle to gain a foothold in BJP’s turf with a single seat projection in the upcoming polls while it is expected to garner a vote share of around 17.4 per cent. 

As per the ABP News-CVoter Opinion Poll, the Aam Aadmi Party has been projected to have a seat range from 0-2.
