The Rajasthan High Court ordered a stay on the re‑poll scheduled for September 25 for the Khatushyamji municipal chairperson election, following a petition by ward‑11 councilor and candidate Vinita Poonia.
On September 25, a re‑poll was slated for the Khatushyamji municipal chairperson election in Rajasthan after the earlier round failed to produce a clear winner.
The Rajasthan High Court intervened after receiving a petition from Vinita Poonia, a ward 11 councilor who is also contesting the chairperson post. The court heard the petition and issued an order staying the re‑poll.
The stay order halts all voting activities for that night, and election officials have been instructed to suspend the poll until the court provides further directions.
The decision adds to the political tension in the region, with local parties awaiting the court’s next ruling before any further electoral steps can be taken.
