WITH the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) Election vote counting underway on Friday evening, available trends indicated that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured 15 seats, while six Shiv Sena candidates were elected unopposed. The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) won three seats.

This year, KDMC introduced multiple counting centres across Kalyan and Dombivli instead of the usual single venue at Savlaram Ground — a move that triggered inconvenience and raised questions among residents.
