The 2026 Rajasthan municipal elections saw the Congress party secure a majority in Kekri, while the BJP emerged victorious in Banswara, according to live updates from Amar Ujala.
The Rajasthan Nagar Nigam elections of 2026 have begun to shape the political landscape of the state. In the town of Kekri, located in the Ajmer district, the Indian National Congress secured a clear majority, outpacing its rivals and consolidating its presence in the region.
Conversely, the Bharatiya Janata Party recorded a decisive win in Banswara, a tribal‑dominant district in southern Rajasthan. The BJP's victory there reflects its continued appeal among local voters despite the Congress surge elsewhere.
These results were reported in real time by Amar Ujala's live blog, which has been tracking each constituency as votes were counted. Election officials have confirmed the counts, and the outcomes are expected to influence the composition of municipal bodies across the state.
Analysts note that the contrasting outcomes in Kekri and Banswara underscore the fragmented nature of Rajasthan's urban electorate, with regional issues and candidate profiles playing a pivotal role.
The Election Commission has announced that the remaining municipal results will be declared in the coming days, completing the statewide tally.
