Karnataka’s biggest municipal corporation, Bengaluru, is all set to have another election. This time around, it would be for the post of deputy mayor.

Countdown begins for the BBMP Deputy Mayor elections and the elections for the BBMP standing committees. The deputy mayor’s post has been vacant ever since Ramila Umashankar from JD(S) passed away on October 5, just a week after taking charge. The mayoral and deputy mayoral elections were held on September 28, but the BBMP standing committee members’ election was postponed.

Elections will be held at the Council Hall in the BBMP headquarters.

In the Congress-JD(S) alliance in BBMP council, there are 15 JD(S) councillors, of whom four had previously served as deputy mayors. While some leaders are pitching for women councillors to take up the job, Mahalakshmi Layout MLA Gopalaiah said he is backing Nagapura ward councillor Bhadregowda who is part of his assembly constituency.
