The 2026 Rajasthan Nagar Nigam election in Udaipur saw the BJP secure 53 wards, giving it a clear majority to form the municipal board for the seventh time.
Udaipur’s municipal corporation election results were declared on the live blog of Amar Ujala on the day of voting in 2026. The Bharatiya Janata Party emerged as the dominant force, winning 53 wards across the city. With this tally, the party now holds a comfortable majority in the 70‑ward corporation, enabling it to appoint the mayor and other office‑bearers.
Election officials confirmed that the BJP’s performance marks its seventh consecutive term leading the Udaipur municipal board. Party representatives have begun internal discussions on candidate nominations for key positions, signalling a swift transition to governance.
Opposition parties, while conceding defeat, have called for a peaceful handover and urged the new board to address pressing civic issues such as water supply, waste management, and urban infrastructure. The results have been closely watched as a barometer of urban political sentiment ahead of the upcoming state assembly polls.
The live coverage continued to update ward‑wise counts until the final numbers were announced, with the BJP’s lead remaining unchallenged throughout the reporting period.
