Khambalia Election Results 2022 LIVE: Isudan Gadhvi bagged the maximum votes during an opinion poll by his party to emerge as Aam Aadmi Party’s chief ministerial face in Gujarat Assembly polls, but failed to garner enough votes to make his and his party’s debut in Gujarat politics eventful. While Gadhvi, who contested from Khambhalia seat, lost to BJP’s Ayar Mulubhai Hardasbhai Bera, who polled 10 per cent more votes than the AAP leader. AAP was leading in just five of the 182 assembly seats in the state, where polling was held in two phases on December 1 and 5. Gadhvi, the 40-year-old journalist-turned-politician, entered politics just a year back, in June 2021, and joined AAP, answering its call for change after 27 years of uninterrupted BJP rule in the state. He was appointed as the party's national joint general secretary and was declared as AAP's CM candidate by party chief Arvind Kejriwal in November this year. AAP had asked people to submit their opinion to the party through social media, SMS, and emails on who should be the party’s CM candidate. More than 70 per cent respondents expressed their opinion in favour of Gadhvi.
