1952 Ahmedabad City by-election

The 1952 Ahmedabad City by-election was a significant electoral event held on 9 December 1952, in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. This by-election was necessitated by the resignation of the incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) from the Lok Sabha, who vacated the seat to join the state legislature. The by-election was marked by a competitive political landscape, reflecting the dynamic shifts in Indian politics following independence in 1947. The Indian National Congress, the dominant party at the time, fielded a candidate against opposition parties including the Bharatiya Janata Party's predecessor. The election results reinforced the Congress party's influence in the region, contributing to its broader objectives during the early years of Indian democracy.
