Campaigning for the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) elections concludes today at 5 PM, initiating a mandatory cooling-off period before polling. The elections mark a significant contest between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), with both parties vying for control of these corporations. The NCP previously held power for 15 years until the BJP won in 2017. Elections were delayed for nearly nine years due to administrative issues and the pandemic, with voters now set to shape the city's future for the next five years.
