2009 Indian general election in Gujarat
The 2009 Indian general election in Gujarat was held as part of the nationwide elections to the 15th Lok Sabha from April 16 to May 13, 2009. Gujarat, a key state in western India, consisted of 26 parliamentary constituencies that were pivotal in determining the overall electoral outcome. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), led by Chief Minister Narendra Modi, aimed to capitalize on its incumbency and the state's economic progress. The Congress party, the primary opposition, contested vigorously, focusing on issues such as development, communal harmony, and anti-incumbency sentiment. The election in Gujarat was marked by high voter turnout and intense campaigning, reflecting the political dynamics and socio-economic challenges of the region. Ultimately, the BJP secured a significant number of seats, reinforcing its dominance in the state.
