Mayoral polls in Bangalore today

Even though the ruling BJP in the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) council is yet to announce its mayoral candidate, four-time councillor B.S. Sathyanarayana from Basavanagudi is in all likelihood set to don the role.

The election to the post of mayor and deputy mayor will be held on Wednesday. The Mayor’s post has been reserved for the general category, while the Deputy Mayor’s post, as per the High Court’s direction, has been reserved for the Scheduled Tribes (woman) category.
