Explained: How And By When Will Mumbai Get New Mayor? | Read

Mumbai will get a new mayor by the end of this month, following the BJP and Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena's big win in the BMC election. Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena faction has lost control of the richest municipal body in the country. We look at the process of how Mumbai would appoint its new mayor, the factors behind the decision and other related matters. The Urban Development Department will conduct a lottery for the reservation of the mayoral post next week, sources said. The election to select the mayor will then be held exactly 10 days after this process is completed. Taking into account these factors, Mumbai will get a new mayor only by the end of January.
