Ahmedabad: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has crossed the halfway mark in the Viramgam Municipality (Nagarpalika) elections, strengthening its position as counting of votes continues.

Out of a total of 36 seats, 13 candidates had already been elected unopposed earlier, giving the party a significant head start. During the ongoing counting process, BJP has secured 6 more seats so far, taking its tally past the majority mark.

With results still being declared for the remaining wards, BJP appears firmly on course to retain control of the Viramgam civic body. Further updates are awaited as counting progresses. DeshGujarat
