Gujarat's recent municipal elections showcased the BJP's overwhelming strength, as they clinched a landslide victory that left many corporations with insufficient opposition representation to appoint a Leader of Opposition. In critical urban areas, the ruling party seized more than 90% of the available seats, quelling any potential dissent.

Early trends from Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation elections show the BJP leading in several wards as vote counting progresses. Polling across Gujarat's local bodies saw a significant turnout, with municipal corporations recording 51.81% in Ahmedabad. The elections, a key exercise before next year's assembly polls, featured major parties and new municipal corporations.
