The elections for the [[Shimla Municipal Corporation]] were held on May 2017.<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
<br />
The [[BJP]] became the single largest party in the 2017 Municipal Corporation elections with 17 out of the 34 seats, falling short of an absolute majority by just 1 seat, creating history by destroying the bastion of [[Indian National Congress|INC]] and might form the new MC too. It is for the first time in the history of Shimla Municipal Corporation that the saffron party has managed to secure the majority. Soon after the results, 1 victorious independent, joined BJP helping it reach the majority mark. BJP lady candidate was elected as the Mayor of Shimla by defeating Congress candidate creating history by bagging the post for the first time.<ref>{{cite web|title=Shimla municipal corporation election results LIVE: BJP reaches halfway mark at 17|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/india/shimla-municipal-corporation-elections-results-live-bjp-leading-with-8-seats-congress-at-3-4708386/|website=Indian Express|accessdate= 17 June 2017|language=en|date= 17 June 2017}}</ref> Worst performance came out for [[CPI(M)]] which only managed to win one seat that too in their only stronghold (Summer Hill).<br />
