Updated: 12/11/2025, 1:35:06 PM Wikipedia source
The 2025 Uttarakhand Municipal general elections were held on 23 January 2025 to elect members of 100 of the 102 regular municipalities in the state. Elections in Kichha and Narendranagar are expected to be held later this year. There are 11 Municipal Corporations, 45 Municipal Councils and 50 Nagar Panchayats in the state of Uttarakhand. Elections were conducted in all of the 11 municipal corporations, 43 municipal councils, and 47 nagar panchayats. The BJP won a landslide victory, securing 10 out of 11 municipal coroporations and winning the maximum number of chairperson seats in municipal councils and notified area councils. Congress, on the other hand failed to win any municipal corporation but managed to win some municipal councils and performed well in notified area councils. Independents dominated the election as they won the maximum number of seats owing to their strong performance in the wards of municipal councils and notified area councils. BSP also managed to win 1 municipal council and 1 notified area council, though its number of ward members decreased.
