As the voting for the second phase of Gujarat elections concluded on Monday, 5 December, most exit polls predicted a landslide victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) with over 120 seats, a massive gain from the 99 seats it won in 2017.
The predictions not only seal the BJP's return for the seventh consecutive term in the state, but also signify a massive boost for Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, who replaced Vijay Rupani for the top job just last year.
The AAP, meanwhile, is expected to make inroads in the state, but is unlikely to be the principal Opposition in the state like it had hoped.
