The election process, which occurs every five years, involved approximately 900 voting members. These voters are delegates representing the interests of milk producers across various districts. The polls were held for eight of the twelve available blocks and one individual member seat. The elections took place across multiple districts and sub-districts, including key areas like Anand, Khambhat, Borsad, and Petlad in Anand district, as well as several locations in Kheda and Mahisagar districts.

Prior to the main voting day, the BJP had already secured an uncontested victory in four seats: Thasra, Balasinor, Memdavad, and Virpur. This early win provided a strategic advantage for the party heading into the contested seats. The high-stakes nature of the election stems from the fact that control of Amul Dairy grants significant power and influence over its vast network of dairy farmers and the associated rural vote bank.

The final results of the Amul polls are scheduled to be announced on September 12. Following this, the newly elected board will then hold an internal election to select a new chairman, a position that carries immense weight and influence over the cooperative’s future direction and management. This final step will determine the leadership for the next five years, concluding the high-stakes electoral process.
