Gandhinagar holds historical significance within the Indian political context. In the 1996 Lok Sabha elections, former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee won from both Gandhinagar and Lucknow. However, Mr Vajpayee opted to retain his Lucknow seat, paving the way for future leaders to make their mark in Gandhinagar.

The Congress party has put forward Sonal Patel, its party secretary, as its candidate for the Gandhinagar seat.
