Mandi municipal council elects its new chairperson by a single vote
The vote was 7 to 6 after a recount asked for by the losing side.
The Mandi municipal council elected a new chairperson on Thursday by seven votes to six, after a recount of the paper ballots.
The losing side asked for the recount when one ballot was found folded inside another. The returning officer counted every ballot again in front of both groups, and the result stood.
The new chairperson said the first meeting would take up the town's parking plan and the repair of the Seri Manch steps before Shivratri.
