The results of the Patna Municipal Elections (PMC), held on 4th June, have declared the first female chief councillor of the PMC-Sita Sahu. The NDA-backed candidate, a councillor from ward number 58 of Patna City area, defeated Rajni Rai by three votes in a close contest. This year, the seat of the chief councillor was reserved for women.
NDA-supported Vinay Kumar Pappu , councillor from ward number 28, was elected deputy mayor.
The elections to the post of chief councillor can be seen as a test match between the ruling Grand Alliance (GA) in Bihar and the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) as the two parties supported Rai and Sahu respectively. Municipal elections in Bihar are not held on party lines.
Elaborate security arrangements were made at the election venue and only the elected ward councillors were allowed inside to vote.
