The BJP has been ruling in Gujarat for the last two decades and a win today will be significant ahead of the 2019 general elections. An NDTV poll of exit polls (an aggregate of 10 exit polls conducted by other networks) predicts the BJP getting 116 seats in Gujarat (One more than they won in the 2012 assembly elections) with the Congress getting 65 seats (4 more from 2012).

The two-phased elections for 182 seats took place on December 9 and December 14. In the first phase of voting held in Kutch, Saurashtra and south Gujarat saw 66.75 per cent voter turnout. While in the second phase, a voting turnout of 68.7 per cent people was registered. The voter turnout in the 2012 assembly election was 71.3 per cent.
After a high-pitched and bitterly-fought election campaign by the BJP and Congress in Gujarat, all eyes now focus on the Gujarat Assembly election result which will be declared today. Counting of votes will begin at 8 am sharp and early leads could be in within the hour. In unpleasant news for the Congress, exit polls have predicted a comfortable win for the BJP. The election in Gujarat is seen as a prestige battle for both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and newly-elected Congress president Rahul Gandhi. For PM Modi, Gujarat being his home state makes it a must-win battle for the BJP, while for Rahul Gandhi, who is now Congress president, a loss would be seen as a bad start, especially because he was the face of the Congress and spearheaded its campaign and strategy in the state.
