Besides the mayor’s post, the party also won the elections of the senior deputy mayor and deputy mayor.
Congress candidates Kuldeep Singh Kajheri (20 votes) and Sheila Phul Singh (17 votes) won the posts of senior deputy mayor and deputy mayor respectively. Congress candidate Ravinder Pal Singh became the new mayor, defeating rebel Congress candidate Jagjit Singh Kang by one vote.
Out of the 33 votes counted, Ravinder Pal Singh got 17 while Kang got 16.
Kang, a Congress councillor, quit the party on Tuesday after he was denied nomination. He contested as an Independent and received support from the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Akali Dal and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP).
Of the 36 municipal councillors, 35 councillors and cast their votes Saturday along with union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal, who represents Chandigarh in parliament. Two votes were declared invalid.
There was confusion initially after the votes were counted as the returning officer, Kuldip Singh Chandpuri, first declared Kang the winner.However, he corrected himself within minutes and announced Ravinder Pal Singh as elected. Reacting to the confusion, Bansal said: “It was a human error. Chandpuri first declared Kang as the winner but immediately rectified his mistake.”
“Mayor elections were held in the most fair manner. There is no chance of any discrepancy,” he added.
