Congress councillor Ashok Sachdeva was elected President of the Ferozepur Municipal Council in a high court-supervised election held on May 29. The election process, delayed due to late arrival of some councillors from BJP, AAP, and Independents, was overseen by SDM Abhishek Sharma and court-appointed observer Senior Advocate Nikhil Goyal, with videography conducted. Congress secured 18 of 33 council seats, winning all three key posts, while BJP, AAP, Independents, and BSP held the remaining seats amid tight security.
