Why Is Bagha Purana Municipal Council Election 2026 Being Held Again?
The Supreme Court of India, through its order dated September 28, 2026, set aside the earlier election of all 15 wards of Bagha Purana Municipal Council and directed a fresh election process.
The matter concerned allegations and findings relating to irregularities during the earlier municipal election nomination process. A fact-finding process examined complaints about the filing of nomination papers and the conduct of the election process in affected wards.
In compliance with the Supreme Court order, the Punjab Government Department of Local Government issued Notification No. 03/01/Elections(S-2)/MEB/2026/176 on October 23, 2026. The notification covers all 15 wards of Bagha Purana Municipal Council and directs that the election be held by November 18, 2026.
The November 18 date is the government-notified deadline for holding the election. It should not be treated as the confirmed polling date or result declaration date unless the competent election authority separately confirms it.
