Kutch Lok Sabha Constituency

BJP’s Vinod Chavda gained a massive lead of 1.74 lakh votes against Congress candidate Nitesh Lalan for Kutch Lok sabha constituency.

Kutch parliamentary constituency of Gujarat saw a voter turnout of 55.05% on the election day during phase III on May 7.

The Kutch Lok Sabha constituency, spanning India’s largest district, again turned a battleground for the Lok Sabha elections.

The BJP fielded Vinod Chavda, a seasoned politician with a substantial asset increase over his tenure, against Congress newcomer Nitesh Lalan, a local youth leader and businessman.

This Scheduled Caste seat witnessed a fight between an experienced candidate and a young local leader.

The Congress chose Lalan, a youthful candidate from the SC community and president of the east Kutch district unit of the youth Congress to take on the sitting MP.

On the other hand, Vinod Chavda is a formidable figure in Kutch politics.

Since winning his first parliamentary election in 2014 with 562,855 votes, he has maintained a solid electoral presence. Chavda repeated his success in the 2019 elections, defeating Congress candidate Naresh Maheshwari by a significant margin.

Dynamics of Kutch parliamentary constituency

The BJP has maintained its grip over this strategic border seat for over two decades.

The electoral dynamics of Kutch have seen various shifts since the seat’s inception in 1957 when the Congress first won it.

The 2019 elections witnessed Vinod Chavda securing a significant win with 637,034 votes against Naresh Maheshwari of the Congress, who garnered 331,521 votes.
