In the 2026 Rajasthan municipal elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party secured mayoral posts in four corporations while the Congress won the mayoral seat in Bikaner, with the balance of power shifting in Pali and Ajmer.
Voting for the 2026 municipal elections across Rajasthan began at 10 a.m., covering five municipal corporations and a total of 273 urban local bodies. The live coverage by Amar Ujala tracked each phase of the ballot as voters turned out across the state.
Preliminary results show the Bharatiya Janata Party emerging victorious in four of the corporations, securing the mayoral positions in those jurisdictions. In contrast, the Indian National Congress managed to capture the mayoral seat in Bikaner, marking a notable win for the party in the region.
The outcomes in Pali and Ajmer indicated a shift in the local political balance, with both parties exchanging control of key wards. Election officials are continuing to tally votes, and final confirmations are expected later today.
The live blog will provide updates on any further changes as the counting process concludes, ensuring residents stay informed about the composition of their urban leadership.
