The 2026 mayoral elections across Rajasthan’s municipal bodies saw the BJP secure mayoral posts in Udaipur‑Pali and Alwar, while the Congress emerged strongest in Bikaner.
Voting for the 2026 mayoral contests began at 10 a.m. on Thursday across five municipal corporations and a total of 273 urban local bodies in Rajasthan. The live coverage by Amar Ujala tracked the ballot count in real time.
Preliminary results indicate that the Bharatiya Janata Party clinched the mayoral seats in the newly formed Udaipur‑Pali municipal corporation as well as in Alwar. Both victories reinforce the party's foothold in the western and central parts of the state.
In contrast, the Indian National Congress emerged as the leading force in Bikaner, where its candidates secured a clear advantage over rivals. The outcome reflects a mixed political landscape ahead of the upcoming state assembly polls.
Election officials have yet to release the final tallies for the remaining urban bodies, but the early trends suggest a competitive environment among the major parties.
The results are expected to shape campaign strategies for the 2026 state elections, with both BJP and Congress eyeing the municipal outcomes as a barometer of voter sentiment.
