The number of Muslims in Gujarat Assembly has marginally increased from three to five. The Muslim candidates have won from Wankaner, Shahpur, Kalupur, Jamalpur and Vagra constituencies.
Muslims have a considerable population in about 14 constituencies of the state. While Congress had given tickets to six members of the Muslim community, BJP did not field even a single Muslim candidate out of the total 182 seats it contested.
In the 2002 Assembly elections, Muslim candidates had registered victory from Kalupur, Jamalpur and Vagra constituencies.
