ABP News, along with research partner CVoter, has conducted an opinion poll. The ruling BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) is predicted to win the elections for a record seventh time since 1995 in Gujarat.

The BJP is anticipated to win between 135-143 seats, which would represent a significant gain from its 2017 total tally of 99 seats.

However, as a result of a strong challenge posed by the AAP (Aam Aadmi Party) as a strong third force, the vote shares of the BJP and INC (Indian National Congress) are likely to drop below 2017 levels

According to projections, the BJP will receive 46.8 percent (down from 49.1 percent in 2017) of the vote share, followed by the INC with 32.3 percent (down from 41.4% in 2017), and AAP is likely to garner a sizeable vote share of 17.4 percent.

Accordingly, INC is likely to win 36-44 seats. It is predicted that AAP would win 0–2 seats. Others are likely to receive a vote share of 3.5 percent and win 0–3 seats.

Additionally, ABP News-CVoter conducted a tracker in October and one of the questions posed to the voters was their preferred choice for the Chief Minister’s post.

In response to the question, 34.6 percent of respondents favored Bhupdender Bhai Patel (BJP), 15.6 percent favored an AAP candidate, 9.2 percent favored Vijay Rupani (BJP), 5.0 percent favored Nitin Bhai Patel (BJP), 4.9 percent favored Shakti Singh Gohil (Congress), 4.0 percent Bharat Sinh Solanki (Congress), 3.7 percent favored C R Patil (BJP), 2.9 percent favored Hardik Patel and 2.8 percent favored Arjun Modwadia (Congress) as their choice for the CM’s post.

In Himachal Pradesh ABP News-CVoter opinion poll predicts a comfortable victory for the BJP in the upcoming assembly elections

While the party’s vote share may decline from its 2017 levels of 48.8 percent to 45.2 percent, they are projected to win between 37–45 seats and return to power, beating the anti-incumbency.

The vote share of INC is likely to fall from 41.7 percent in 2017 to 33.9 percent in 2022, and it is expected to have a tally of 21–29 seats.

AAP’s much-hyped election campaign in Himachal is not expected to make any substantial gains as the party is only expected to win 0-1 seats. However, they are likely to garner a sizable chunk of 9.5 percent of votes, while others are expected to win 0-3 seats and receive a vote share of 11.4 percent.

ABP News-CVoter conducted a tracker in October and one of the questions posed to the voters was their preferred choice for the Chief Minister’s post. 31.7 percent of people favored Jai Ram Thakur (BJP), 19.5 percent favored Anurag Thakur (BJP), 15.0 percent favored Pratibha Singh (Congress), 9.5 percent favored an Aam Aadmi Party Candidate and 5.0 percent favored Mukhesh Agnihotri (Congress) as their choice for the CM’s post.
