The ongoing count for Jaipur’s 150‑ward municipal corporation shows the Bharatiya Janata Party ahead with 78 victories, while the Indian National Congress has secured 53 seats and independents hold 15.
The counting process for Jaipur's 150‑ward municipal corporation election has so far declared results for 146 wards. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leads with victories in 78 wards, while the Indian National Congress (INC) trails with wins in 53 wards. Independent candidates have secured the remaining 15 seats.
The results that are still pending cover only four wards, and the final tally could slightly adjust the distribution but is unlikely to overturn the clear lead held by the BJP. Election officials have confirmed that the count is proceeding smoothly and that all votes are being verified according to the Election Commission's guidelines.
With a majority of seats, the BJP is positioned to form the municipal administration in Jaipur, influencing local policy on urban development, sanitation and civic services. The outcome also reflects the broader political climate in Rajasthan ahead of the upcoming state assembly elections.
