Zila Panchayat president, Vice President to be elected today

In the last phase of the three-tier panchayat body elections, the election of zilla panchayat president and vice-president will be held on Friday. Both Congress and BJP are staking their claim to victory. After a long time, the post of president has been reserved for the general category woman. Both the BJP and the Congress are claiming their majority in the 21-member zilla panchayat. This post was occupied by Congress last time. Mahesh Parmar became the president before being elected MLA and was replaced by Karan Kumaria. Congress also had its vice-president in the form of Bharat Porwal. Now BJP is putting full emphasis to get this post. The BJP is claiming to have 12 members in the zilla panchayat, while 11 members are needed for the majority, but the way the Congress has won the Ujjain janpad panchayat election even after not having a majority has made the BJP very cautious. According to the schedule received from the Election Commission, the election for the president and vice-president of zilla panchayat Ujjain will be held on Friday in the Zilla Panchayat meeting hall located at Damdama. The administration and police have made elaborate arrangements this time for the process to start from 10.30 am.
