Record Win for BJP Women Candidates in Gujarat’s Lok Sabha Polls

In the recent Lok Sabha elections, four women candidates in Gujarat emerged victorious - three from BJP and one from Congress. This marks a decrease from six women winners in 2019. The BJP won 25 out of 26 seats while Congress secured one. The win solidifies women's growing representation in politics.

In the latest Lok Sabha elections, a notable trend has emerged: four women candidates from Gujarat have successfully secured their seats, as compared to six in 2019.

The election results, declared on Tuesday, highlighted that out of the total 26 seats in Gujarat, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) clinched 25, while the Congress managed to secure just one.

According to the Election Commission of India, three out of four victorious women are from the BJP, with Geniben Thakor of Congress being the sole non-BJP winner. This outcome has reasserted the BJP's dominant position in the state while also reflecting a decline in women representation compared to the previous general elections.
