Maha civic polls: '68' candidates set for 'unopposed wins'; SEC to invoke 2014 directive

Over 60 candidates in Maharashtra's municipal corporation elections are poised for unopposed victories. The State Election Commission will adhere to a 2014 directive, ensuring thorough verification of these candidates before official declaration. This process aims to maintain transparency and uphold election norms, even in cases of single-candidate races due to withdrawals or local agreements.
