Gujarat Legislative Assembly or Gujarat Vidhan Sabha is the unicameral legislature of the Indian state of Gujarat, in the state capital Gandhinagar. Presently, 182 members of the Legislative Assembly are directly elected from single-member constituencies (seats). It has a term of 5 years unless it is dissolved sooner. 13 constituencies are reserved for scheduled castes and 27 constituencies for scheduled tribes. From its majority party group or by way of a grand coalition cabinet of its prominent members, the state's Executive namely the Government of Gujarat is formed.
BJP has broken the record of winning most seats in Gujarat assembly which was previously with Madhav Singh Solanki who has won 149 seats. BJP has been in power since 1995.[1] BJP is also near the record of being longest serving party in an assembly consecutively. Currently the record is with Left alliance which had been in power for 34 years (from 1977 to 2011).
After gaining a super majority in 2022 Gujarat Legislative Assembly election, the BJP elected Bhupendrabhai Patel as the leader of the legislative party on 10 December 2022.[2] On 12 December 2022, Bhupendrabhai Patel took oath as Chief Minister of Gujarat by Governor Acharya Devavrat. Also 8 leaders took oath as cabinet ministers, two as Minister of State with independent charges and six others as Minister of State.[3]
On 13 December 2022, 3 independent candidates decided to support the BJP government.[4]
