Bhupendra Patel to succeed Vijay Rupani as chief minister

 

BJP MLA Bhupendra Patel will be the new chief minister of Gujarat.

Patel (55) was unanimously elected BJP legislature party leader here on Sunday. His name was proposed by CM Vijay Rupani, whose resignation from the post on Saturday surprised many.

Patel won the 2017 Gujarat Legislative Assembly elections from Ghatlodia constituency, defeating Congress candidate Shashikant Patel.
