Pune: Members were selected for the Pune Municipal Corporation’s (PMC) standing committee on Friday (13th February). Along with that, members of other committees and departments were also selected.
Soon, the chairman and leaders of these committees will be elected. These key committees will lead the civic body to a better future, which the citizens hope for.
The elections for the Pune Civic Body happened on 15th January 2026, and the results were declared on 16th January. Out of 165 total seats across 41 wards, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) managed to get a comfortable majority of 119 seats.
The Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) came a distant second with 26 seats. The Indian National Congress managed 15 seats in Pune. NCP-Sharadchandra Pawar (NCP-SP) won three, while Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) and an independent candidate won one seat each.
With the general body formation expected to finish by next month, these members will lead Pune’s civic body in it.
Under the Maharashtra Municipal Corporations Act, 1949, the PMC functions through a "deliberative" wing (elected councillors) and an "executive" wing (the Commissioner).
The law specifies certain statutory committees that must be formed to manage specific city affairs. While the corporation can create several "Special Committees" (like for Sports or Law), there are four primary statutory bodies that hold the most legal weight. They are the standing committee, the city improvement committee, the education committee, and the women's and child welfare committee.
