Seat change
Against Gujarat's previous Vidhan Sabha election (1975), matched constituency-for-constituency
- Retained4 (2%)
- Changed hands168 (92%)
- New seat10 (5%)
4 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 168 changed hands. 10 did not exist at the previous election.
India’s constituencies have not been redrawn since the 2008 delimitation, so this compares the same seat boundary both times.
