Pune: The election results for the Pune Zilla Parishad polls were announced on Monday (9th February) after the election was held on Saturday. Unlike the municipal corporation polls in the district, the Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) swept the whole district, as they got a clear majority, winning 51 seats out of a total of 73 seats.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) finished a distant second as it won 10 seats. Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena managed to get five, Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) managed to get six, while Nationalist Congress Party - Sharadchandra Pawar (NCP-SP) managed to get just one seat. The Indian National Congress didn't win any seats.
With a total of 13 tehsils in Pune District and 73 groups of Zilla Parishad in them, Ajit Pawar-led NCP candidates dominated the polls. Despite not having MLAs or MPs in some areas, the party still managed to get votes.
Polling was held for the Zilla Parishad and Panchayat Samiti polls on Saturday, and it went mostly peacefully, with some exceptional incidents of bogus voting and other disturbances reported in some parts of the district.
After a brief break on Sunday, the vote counting process began at around 10 am on Monday, and by 6 pm, the administration of the Pune Zilla Parishad had announced the final results. After setbacks in municipal corporation elections in the district, NCP’s gulaal was thrown in celebrations across the district.
