ZP Election : Big decision soon regarding district council elections; Announcement likely next week

Important movements are underway regarding the district council elections in the state, and there is a strong possibility that the elections will be announced next week. However, sources indicate that the likelihood of the election schedule being announced this week is low. It is said that the issue of reservation is primarily responsible for this.

In the current situation, the reservation limit in some district councils in the state has exceeded 50 percent. According to the guidelines of the Supreme Court, the total reservation in local self-government bodies should not exceed 50 percent. Therefore, in places where this limit has been exceeded, the option of postponing the elections is being seriously considered.

According to sources, elections are likely to be held only in those district councils where the reservation is within 50 percent. Accordingly, the announcement of elections for about 12 district councils may be made next week. However, it is being speculated that elections in the remaining approximately 20 district councils may be postponed as the reservation percentage is more than 50 percent.

The State Election Commission is closely monitoring this entire process, and an important meeting of the commission has been organized today in this regard. Detailed discussions on reservation, legal matters, and the election program are likely to take place in this meeting. It is also speculated that the final decision may be made in today's meeting.

Meanwhile, all political parties in the state are focused on the district council elections. As the elections of local self-government bodies are considered extremely important for upcoming political equations, the anticipation for the election announcement has reached its peak. Whether the elections will be held in phases or all at once is still unclear.

Overall, due to the complexity of reservations, there is an air of uncertainty over the district council elections. However, as there is a possibility of announcing the election schedule for at least some district councils next week, signs of the political climate heating up in the state are visible.
