Isudan Gadhvi, the party’s national joint general secretary, was named by the Aam Aadmi Party as its candidate for chief minister in the upcoming Gujarat Assembly elections on Friday.
Gadhvi also serves on the National Executive Committee of the AAP. Following a crowdsourcing campaign in which state residents could voice their opinions on a phone number and email address shared by the party until 5 p.m. on November 3, the party made this announcement.
Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi and the national convenor of the AAP, started the campaign on October 29 by urging the public to choose a candidate for chief minister.
The AAP had held a poll ahead of the Punjab Assembly elections, and Bhagwant Mann had come out on top.
Mann eventually rose to the position of the state’s chief minister.
The Gujarat Assembly elections will take place on the dates that the Election Commission stated earlier on Thursday.
On December 1 and 5, there will be two separate rounds of voting. On December 8, which also happens to be the day of the announcement of the results for Himachal Pradesh, the votes will be counted.
