DJ Halli Corporator Sampath Raj secured 139 votes whereas another BBMP corporator Padmavathi Narasimhamurthy managed to get only 38 votes. Newly elected mayor and deputy mayors have tenure of one year until September 27, 2018.
Joint efforts of Congress and JDS turned fruitful to attain their preferred posts at BBMP as planned earlier. Meanwhile, BJP protested and boycotted the elections and finally moved away from the BBMP hall.
