This was the first major election after Bhupendra Patel took charge as the chief minister of Gujarat.
The BJP has been in power in the civic body, while Aam Aadmi Party is also contesting in the elections.
The poll body had earlier postponed the election, originally scheduled in April, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
