Gujarat Assembly Elections 2022: Voting for the first phase of the Gujarat assembly elections was completed at 5 pm on Thursday. In this way, the fate of 788 candidates who contested for 89 seats in 19 districts has been sealed in EVMs. In the first phase, more than 59 percent people voted. However, the final figures are yet to come as the voting of voters inside the polling campus is going on.
14 percent less voting in Saurashtra than in South Gujarat: In Saurashtra-Kutch, only 42 per cent polling took place. At the same time, 56 percent voting has been recorded in South Gujarat. In this way, 14 percent less voting has been done in Saurashtra than in South Gujarat.
53.75% voters exercised franchise in Morbi. In the rest of the districts, less than 50% voting has been done so far. Thus the low voter turnout in the Patidar constituency has left the candidates in a quandary.
