December 23, 2015
Dwarka
Congress member Meetanben Jitendrabhai Goriya was selected president of Devbhumi Dwarka District Panchyat today while BJP member Gitaba Bahadur Singh was nominated deputy president on the basis of draws held with chits following a tie for both the posts, Collector H K Patel said.
The election for both the posts were canceled yesterday by district collector and postponed for a day.
Congress won 11 seats while BJP 9 and independents 2 in the local body during November 20 polls.
As 2 independents extended their support to BJP, both Congress and BJP are enjoying support of 11-11 members.
The Collector therefore took a decision in favor of draw through chits.
The term of President and Vice President of District Panchayat is 2.5 years in 5 years full term of Panchayat.
