Election to the 100 wards in Coimbatore Corporation is expected to be an interesting battle for more reasons than one.
The first is that the city’s 15 lakh-plus voters will be voting in local body elections after a gap of almost six years. In the last five years the voters did not have a local representative to air their ward-level grievance.
The second is that the city will have a woman mayor for the first time. The third is that Coimbatore district has all its 10 MLAs from the opposition AIADMK, while the party in power in the State is its arch rival the DMK.
