2012 Gujarat legislative assembly election
The 2012 Gujarat Legislative Assembly election was held on December 13, 2012, to elect the 182 members of the Gujarat Legislative Assembly. This election was significant as it was conducted under the leadership of incumbent Chief Minister Narendra Modi, representing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), who sought a third consecutive term amid allegations of controversial governance and communal strife during his administration. The election was marked by a high voter turnout of approximately 70%, reflecting intense political engagement in the state. The BJP faced main opposition from the Indian National Congress and various regional parties. Ultimately, the BJP secured a decisive victory, reinforcing Modi's political dominance in Gujarat and setting the stage for his subsequent national political aspirations.
