Despite a setback in the last Lok Sabha elections, the Congress saw its vote share increase, suggesting that this year's municipal elections—especially in the capital and the five corporations—could take an intriguing turn.
All eyes are now on the electoral dynamics of the state's five major municipal corporations: Dehradun, Haldwani, Kashipur, Haridwar, and Srinagar. Currently, the BJP occupies the mayoral seats in Dehradun, Haldwani, and Kashipur, while the Congress holds Haridwar and Srinagar.
Speaking to TNIE, Chief Election Officer Dr BVRC Purushottam said, "Nominations for the Uttarakhand municipal elections have been completed, and the scrutiny process is currently underway. Voting will take place on January 23, with results expected to be announced on January 25."
