After other candidates withdrew, the Kekri municipal mayoral contest will be a head‑to‑head battle between Congress leader Anil Mittal and BJP candidate Vineet Choradia, with 40 ward councillors poised to decide the outcome.
Kekri, Rajasthan – The municipal mayoral race in Kekri has narrowed to a direct contest after the withdrawal of other aspirants. Congress nominee Anil Mittal will face off against BJP’s Vineet Choradia, each hoping to secure the support of the town’s 40 ward councillors.
The council composition currently stands at 20 Congress councillors, 18 from the BJP and two from the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP). With no third‑party candidates in the fray, the balance of power among these elected representatives will be decisive.
Both candidates have emphasized development and local governance in their brief campaigns, but the final outcome will hinge on how the RLP councillors align themselves and whether any cross‑party agreements emerge before the mayoral vote.
Election officials have confirmed that the mayor will be elected by the council members, making the internal dynamics of the 40‑member body the focal point of this local political showdown.
The result is expected to shape Kekri’s administrative agenda for the coming term, influencing projects ranging from infrastructure upgrades to municipal services.
