Shiv Sena’s Kishori Pednekar was the only person to file her nomination for the post of Mumbai’s mayor on Monday. With the BJP having decided to not field a candidate for the Mayoral elections and with no candidature either from the Congress or NCP, Pednekar will officially be elected as mayor on November 22.

Shiv Sena emerged as the largest party with 94 corporators, while BJP with 83 stood second. However, the former Sena ally decided to not contest the elections citing minority. Congress which has 29 corporators along with NCP’s 8 and SP’s 6 respectively announced it would not contest the polls after the deadline of 6 pm was crossed on Monday.
