What is the numerical strength of Gujarat Assembly?

There are a total of 182 seats in the Gujarat Assembly, out of which one seat is vacant; At present there are 181 members. In terms of numbers, BJP has 161 MLAs, Congress has 12, Aam Aadmi Party has 4 and two independent MLAs. Since Congress does not have the necessary numbers to field candidates, the victory of BJP candidates is certain to be unopposed.

Congress is represented only by Banaskantha MP Geniben Thakor in the Lok Sabha. At present, the tenure of Congress’s lone Rajya Sabha MP Shaktisingh Gohil has ended, while the tenure of BJP’s Narhari Amin, Rambhai Mokaria and Ramilaben Bara is also ending.
