New Delhi: In a significant political turnaround, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday reclaimed Gujarat’s Visavadar Assembly seat in the bypolls, which were necessitated after its sitting MLA, Bhupat Bhayani, resigned and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

AAP candidate Gopal Italia secured a decisive victory, polling 75,942 votes and defeating BJP’s Kirit Patel by a margin of 17,554 votes. The contest saw fluctuating leads through all 21 rounds of counting before Italia emerged victorious.

The bypoll, held on June 19, recorded a voter turnout of 56.89%. AAP’s ability to retain the seat after the defection of its MLA is being seen as a strategic win and a message of resilience in Gujarat’s political landscape.
