The 2026 mayoral polls across Rajasthan saw the Bharatiya Janata Party secure a decisive victory, winning 197 of the 273 urban local bodies.
Voting for the 2026 mayoral elections began at 10 a.m., covering five municipal corporations and a total of 273 urban local bodies across Rajasthan. The live coverage by Amar Ujala tracked the ballot count in real time.
Preliminary results indicate that the Bharatiya Janata Party emerged as the clear front‑runner, securing 197 seats. This dominant performance gives the party a strong foothold in the state's urban governance structures.
The remaining 76 seats were divided among opposition parties and independents, though exact tallies are still being compiled. Election officials have affirmed that the process proceeded smoothly, with voter turnout reported as robust in most municipalities.
Analysts suggest that the BJP's urban strategy and candidate selection contributed to its sweeping win, which could influence local policy directions ahead of the next state assembly elections.
