Rajasthan Urban Local Body Elections See Close Contests and Deputy Mayor Wins
Rajasthan's recent urban local body elections featured closely contested municipal chairperson and deputy mayor posts. In Tijara, Congress secured the chairperson position by a narrow margin, leveraging support from independent councillors amid allegations of police interference. In Nohar, BJP's Hajan Khatoon Tak won the chairperson post through a lottery after a tied vote. BJP maintained dominance in several deputy mayor seats across the state. Elections concluded in 304 urban local bodies, with some results decided by vote draws and political negotiations involving independents.
