SUMMARY

The results of elections to 309 urban local bodies in Rajasthan will be declared on Monday, with counting beginning at 8 am across the state. The results will determine the fate of 38,889 candidates and set the stage for the formation of governing boards in 10 Municipal Corporations, 47 Municipal Councils and 252 Municipalities.

Polling was conducted in two phases on September 9 and 11, with Rajasthan recording a voter turnout of 73.56%, more than three percentage points higher than the turnout in the previous urban local body elections. The BJP fielded 9,290 candidates and the Congress 9,027, while 18,732 Independents contested the elections. The Rashtriya Loktantrik Party fielded 948 candidates, followed by the Aam Aadmi Party with 311, BSP with 298, CPI(M) with 185 and Bharat Adivasi Party with 98.

The results will be followed by negotiations over the formation of governing boards. Independent councillors and members of smaller parties could become important in urban local bodies where the BJP or Congress fails to secure a majority.

The elections are also a test for the BJP and Congress in urban Rajasthan. The BJP, currently in power in the state, has claimed it will form boards in more than 200 urban local bodies, while the Congress has expressed confidence in its performance.

For the first time in Rajasthan, results for all 309 urban local bodies are being declared simultaneously under the 'One State-One Election' model. Previously, urban local body elections were conducted in separate phases.

The previous election cycle, held between 2019 and 2021 when Congress was in power, covered 196 urban local bodies. Congress won 3,036 of the 7,500 wards contested, while BJP won 2,676. Congress eventually formed boards in 125 bodies and BJP in 64, highlighting the importance of post-poll negotiations in determining control.

Votes are being counted at designated centres across the state, with security personnel deployed in and around the premises. Only authorised persons are being allowed to enter the counting centres, officials said.

The elections, considered an important test for the ruling BJP and opposition Congress ahead of the 2028 Assembly polls, were conducted in two phases on September 9 and 11.

A total of 10,245 councillors will be elected across 309 urban local bodies, including 10 municipal corporations, 51 municipal councils and 248 municipalities.

More than 1.44 crore voters were eligible to cast their ballots in the civic elections.

The BJP and Congress mounted an intense campaign for the civic polls, while Independents and candidates from other parties also contested in several urban local bodies.

Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, former chief minister Ashok Gehlot, Rajasthan Assembly Leader of Opposition Tikaram Jully, BJP state president Madan Rathore and Congress state president Govind Singh Dotasra were among the prominent leaders who campaigned for their parties.

The civic polls assume political importance as the results will decide control of urban local bodies across Rajasthan and offer an indication of the urban electorate's mood nearly three years after the 2023 Assembly elections.

In the Jaipur Municipal Corporation, the largest civic body in the current elections, votes are being counted for 150 wards. The civic body has more than 24 lakh electors.
