The Bharatiya Janata Party secured 197 of the 301 mayor‑chairman seats declared so far in Rajasthan’s urban local body polls, while the Congress won 94 seats.
The latest results from Rajasthan’s municipal elections show the Bharatiya Janata Party emerging as the clear front‑runner, winning 197 of the 301 mayor‑chairman positions announced to date. The Indian National Congress follows with 94 victories, while independent candidates have secured seven seats. Smaller parties – the Aam Aadmi Party, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party – each managed to win a single post.
These figures come after the ward‑level results were declared, providing a clearer picture of the overall balance of power in the state’s urban local bodies. The BJP’s dominance across a majority of municipalities is expected to influence local governance and development agendas in the coming term.
Election officials have not yet released the remaining results for the remaining top posts, but the current tally underscores a strong foothold for the ruling party in Rajasthan’s urban political landscape.
