KAKINADA: Four Jana Sena leaders are aspiring for the municipal chairperson’s post in Bhimavaram. The post has gone to the JS as per an agreement within the ruling NDA alliance.
Opposition YSRC is yet to decide on a candidate for the post. It is said the opposition party had finalised its choice but is yet to announce the name.
The chairperson’s post is reserved for a woman under the General category.
Several candidates from the Telugu Desam, Jana Sena, and Bharatiya Janata Party are aspiring to contest as ward members of the Bhimavaram municipality. The alliance parties’ success in a large number of municipalities, municipal corporations, and ZPTC and MPTC elections has raised expectations of a win among the aspirants. The candidates feel such an opportunity may not come their way again.
Bhimavaram has 52 wards following the merger of four villages — Taderu, Chinameeram, Rayalam, and Kovada into the municipality.
The nomination process for the forthcoming polls will start on November 14 and end on November 16. Scrutiny of nominations will be on November 17. Candidates can withdraw their nominations up to 3 p.m. on November 19. Polling is scheduled for November 26 and counting of the votes will be on November 30.
Officials said nomination papers would be supplied free of cost at the municipal office.
Section 30 will remain in force from the date of notification until the counting of votes.
Candidates wanting to organise processions or rallies must obtain permission from the police and election officials.
