The campaigning for the Panchkula municipal corporation elections concluded on May 10, with candidates from major political parties making a final push to secure votes. BJP's mayoral candidate Shyam Lal Bansal, Congress's Sudha Bhardwaj, AAP's Rajesh Kumar, and INLD's Manoj Aggarwal actively engaged with voters through public meetings, roadshows, and door-to-door campaigns. The elections will see 86 candidates vying for 20 ward councillor seats, with 207,379 voters eligible to cast their ballots. Both BJP and Congress have fielded candidates in all wards, while AAP and INLD have fewer candidates. The campaign was marked by the presence of senior leaders and celebrities, with both parties addressing local issues and allegations of corruption. Notably, the BJP faced challenges from rebel candidates who contested as Independents after being denied party tickets. With promises of improved civic infrastructure and services dominating the discourse, voters will decide the fate of the candidates in this highly competitive election.
