there were altogether 18 candidates in the fray for the 15-member
panel, including one TD corporator, a BJP corporator and another, a
dummy Congress candidate.

cross-voting in the second preference votes even if it did not affect
the final outcome. The newly-elected members will be part of the
standing committee which is presided over by Mayor Majid Hussain for a
one-year period.
