Mumbai Mayoral Elections

Mumbai Mayor Kishori Pednekar today said that the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections will be held early next year in January-February, provided the Covid-19 situation is under control.

Shiv Sena corporator Kishori Pednekar on Friday officially elected as Mayor of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). Another Shiv Sena corporator Suhas Waadkarand was elected as Deputy Mayor.

The BJP will not contest the upcoming mayoral elections in Mumbai as they are in minority, whereas the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Congress are likely to field their candidates.

The BJP and Shiv Sena moved their corporators out of the city ahead of November 22 elections for the posts of Mayor and Deputy Mayor because their alliance seems no longer possible.

The Nationalist Congress Party on Saturday expelled all 18 of its newly elected corporators in Maharashtra's Ahmednagar for voting in favour of the BJP during the mayoral poll in the civic body there.

The Maharashtra government is mulling to hold direct elections for the mayor's post in the corporations that fall under the C and D category, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has said.

Vishwanath Mahadeshwar was elected Mumbai's new mayor on Wednesday morning by a show of hands in which the BJP supported the Shiv Sena corporator, handing over control of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), Asia's richest civic body, to its ally again. After winning almost an equal number of seats in an election fought bitterly between th...

Local leader of the Congress Dharmesh Vyas, who filed a petition, said, "As a principal of a government-aided school, he had suppressed the information that he was drawing a salary from government grants which makes him ineligible even to become a corporator."

The BJP today said it won't challenge the Shiv Sena for the post of Mumbai's mayor after the two sparring allies produced an inconclusive result in an election for India's richest civic body, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), which they contested separately last month.

The NCP today said it will maintain a distance from both the Shiv Sena and BJP in the Mayoral elections in the Mumbai Municipal Corporation, where the recent polls resulted in a hung house.

The Shiv Sena today stepped up its attack on the BJP, saying its partner in Maharashtra and the central government has become "a version of Congress". "Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said BJP won't align with the Congress, but has made his party 'Congress' by inducting many from Congress-NCP into the BJP fold," it said. "That is why, Congress is ...

The Congress' clear refusal on Saturday to help the Shiv Sena take charge of Mumbai civic body could nudge the Sena and the BJP - allies in the Narendra Modi government who fought a bitter battle for control of the country' richest municipal body - to join hands again. But the big question is: Who will get the Mayor's chair.

Differences in the Congress over considering the option of supporting a Shiv Sena candidate to become mayor of Mumbai emerged today as a senior party leader strongly opposed the idea.

Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray refused to talk on Friday about who will be Mumbai's new mayor as he celebrated his party being number 1 again in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation or BMC with 84 seats. The BJP has just two less at 82, and none of them is close to the majority they need to get the Mayor's post. Majority or halfway of the 227-s...

As campaigns for assembly elections are in top gear, every political party is also using social media to spread messages against their opponents.
