Congress had fielded its candidates for 24 constituencies in the state; however, this number has dropped to 23 after the nomination fiasco of Nilesh Kumbhani for the Surat Lok Sabha constituency.

Notably, Congress is contesting the Lok Sabha elections in Gujarat under the I.N.D.I.A. coalition, under which the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has fielded two of its candidates, Chaitar Vasava and Umesh Makwana, from Bharuch and Bhavnagar seats, respectively.
