Voting for Mehsana Assembly had become interesting for a number of reasons. Notably, due to the absence of Former Deputy Chief Minister Nitin Patel, who usually has a powerful presence in the Mehsana region and the debut of the AAP in the Gujarat elections. In Nitin Patel's absence, the BJP has appointed Mukesh Patel as their representative while the Congress has chosen PK Patel as their representative and the AAP has selected a Patidar individual as their contender.

BJP had won the Mehsana assembly seat in 1990 and has remained in possession of the seat, for the most part. Nitin Patel won the seat in the 2012 and 2017’s assembly elections. He was the first Deputy Chief Minister of Gujarat.
