Karnataka Municipal Election Result 2018: Counting is being done for 105 urban local bodies in Karnataka, which went on election on August 31. In the elections, a record turnout of 68 percent was recorded for elections to 29 municipalities, 53 municipalities, 23 municipal panchayats and 2,709 civil wards spread across 135 ward in Mysuru, Shivamogga and Tumakuru city corporations.
A total of 8,340 candidates, including 2,306 of Congress, 2,203 from the BJP and 1,397 from the JD-S contested in the urban local body elections. The Congress and JD (S) did not rule out on forming a post-poll alliance to keep the BJP out of power. “In the event of either party not getting majority on its own in the ULB elections, we will have post-poll alliance to rule the local bodies as we did to form the coalition government in the state after the May 12 assembly election threw a hung House with a split verdict,” a JD(S) official told IANS on Saturday.
BJP president BS Yeddyurappa said that the saffron party has performed 'under exceptions'. However, he believes in the victory of the saffron party in 2019. The counting of urban local bodies (ULB) elections in Karnataka is still with the Congress and Janata Dal (Secular), which is hoping to increase their alliance.
As Congress maintains lead, some leaders of the grand old party and CM HD Kumaraswamy's JD(S) are of the opinion that even if they manage to win 50% of the seats together, it would be enough since urban areas are considered to be BJP's stronghold. The Bharatiya Janata Party is already leading in three municipal corporations of Shimoga, Mysore, Tumkur.
In the 2013 urban local bodies elections held in 4,976 seats, the Congress had won 1,960 seats, while the BJP and the JD-S had won 905 seats each, and Independents had bagged the remaining 1,206 seats. The full list of results is expected to be declared by night.
