Gujarat is all set to witness a three-cornered fight with the Bharatiya Janata Part, the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party in the fray.
The two-phase assembly elections will be held on December 1 and 5 while the counting of votes will be taken up on December 8.
Rediff Labs analysed the 2017 assembly election results merged with 2019 Lok sabha election result are to develop a Sentiment Meter for the 2022 electoral battle.
A mathematical model is used to calculate how seat distribution will be altered as sentiment/percentage of votes towards a contesting political party changes. Based on the change, each constituency is marked with the winning party.
A swing represents that the victory margin is close to the runner-up party.
Move the pointer on the Sentiment Meter (depending on who you think will get more votes) towards the political parties to see how the outcome is likely to change.
