- BJP councilor Ankam Mounika elected Khanapur chairman
- Election sees support from seven councilors, vice-chairman chosen
The Khanapur Chairperson Election concluded with BJP councilor Ankam Mounika being elected as the Municipal Chairperson in Nirmal district. The result was announced on Sunday after a show of hands by councilors during the election process.
Election Officer Jeevaratnam confirmed that Ankam Mounika secured the position after seven councilors extended their support. The voting process was conducted following earlier disruptions, which had led to a postponement of the election.
Meanwhile, BRS councilor Shoyab was elected as the municipal vice-chairman. The election thus resulted in key leadership roles being filled after a brief delay caused by political tensions in the council.
Earlier, the election scheduled for Saturday could not be completed. According to the input, Congress MLA Bojju’s strategy to try to buy councilors failed. At the same time, MLA Veda Bojju created a ruckus during the proceedings. Therefore, authorities decided to postpone the election to Sunday to ensure order.
On Sunday, however, the situation remained under control. Officials carried out the election process smoothly. Councilors participated, and the required support was expressed through a show of hands. As a result, Ankam Mounika was declared the winner without further disruption.
The development marks a significant political outcome in Khanapur municipality. Also, the selection of both the chairperson and vice-chairman brings administrative clarity to the local body. The authorities completed the process in the presence of officials, ensuring that the election followed due procedure.
The events leading up to the election reflect the tense political environment. However, the final outcome was decided through the prescribed method. Further details about subsequent administrative steps are awaited.
