The first candidate from the constituency was Maniben Patel, daughter of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who was elected in 1957. The seat had been a stronghold of Congress since then. Barring 1989 and 1999, the seat had remained with the party until 2014, when the "Modi wave" ensured a total whitewash for the Congress in Gujarat. In 2019, Mitesh Patel from BJP was elected and the party repeated him in 2024, some say against the wishes of several party leaders.
