Who Was the Mayor of Raipur in the Last Election?

In the last Raipur Nagar Nigam Election (2019)Congress candidate Ejaz Dhebar won the Mayor’s seat. However, back then, the Mayor was elected through an indirect voting system.

This time, direct voting was conducted for the Mayor post, making the election even more competitive.

What to Expect in the Final Raipur Nagar Nigam Election Results 2025?

With BJP leading in early trends, it seems likely that Meenal Choubey will become the next Mayor of Raipur. However, the final results will confirm the winner officially.

If BJP wins, it will be a major political boost for the party in Chhattisgarh municipal elections. On the other hand, if Congress makes a comeback, it could strengthen its hold in the state’s urban governance.

The final results will be declared by the evening, and the political landscape of Raipur Nagar Nigam will become clearer.

The Raipur Nagar Nigam Election 2025 is witnessing a close fight between BJP and Congress. While early trends favor BJP, the final results are yet to be announced.

With low voter turnout and tight competition, both parties are eagerly waiting for the final numbers. Will Meenal Choubey secure victory for BJP, or will Deepti Dubey turn the tables for Congress?
