Chandigarh re-elections for senior deputy mayor and deputy mayor posts after Supreme Court overturns mayoral poll results.
Reelections for the posts of senior deputy mayor and deputy mayor of the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation are being held on March 4.
The Supreme Court on February 20 had overturned the January 30 results of the Chandigarh mayoral poll in which the BJP candidate had emerged an unlikely winner and declared defeated AAP-Congress alliance candidate Kuldeep Kumar as the city's new mayor.
The process for election for the two posts is being conducted by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) councillor Mr. Kumar who recently assumed the charge of Chandigarh mayor.
In the January 30 poll, BJP's Manoj Sonkar had defeated Mr. Kumar to become mayor.
