The results of the Morbi Municipal Corporation elections have delivered a complete sweep for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has won all 52 seats. The Indian National Congress (INC) and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), along with other candidates, have failed to secure any seats, leaving the BJP in total control of the civic body. In the 2015 Morbi Nagarpalika elections, the Indian National Congress (Congress) achieved a strong and impressive victory. The party won 32 out of 52 seats, gaining a clear majority and taking control of the municipality. On the other hand, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured 20 seats, which was seen as a major setback for the party in Morbi at the time. The results reflected a shift in voter sentiment and gave Congress a significant boost in the region.
However, the political story took a dramatic turn just a year later. In July 2016, Morbi witnessed a major shift when 12 Congress councillors rebelled and switched sides, aligning themselves with the BJP.
This unexpected development allowed the BJP to take control of the municipality, despite having lost the election earlier.
