The 2025 Raipur Municipal Corporation (RMC) election were held on February 11, 2025,[1][2] to elect the mayor and councilors who will govern Raipur, the capital city of Chhattisgarh, India. This election was part of the broader municipal elections taking place across the state. The counting for the votes and results were declared on February 15, 2025.[3][4]
The Bharatiya Janata Party delivered a remarkable performance in the Municipal Corporation elections. In the mayoral race, BJP candidate Meenal Choubey defeated INC candidate Deepti Pramod Dubey by 1.25 lakh votes, marking the largest victory margin in the entire Chhattisgarh municipal elections. BJP secured a landslide victory, winning 60 out of 70 wards and making a strong comeback in the corporation after 15 years. The Indian National Congress, which had been in power for the past 15 years, managed to win only 7 wards. Several prominent Congress leaders, including former Mayor Aijaz Dhebar and former MIC member Satnam Singh Panag, lost from their respective wards. Additionally, independent candidates secured victories in three other wards.
In March 2025, an independent councilor joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), increasing the party's strength in the corporation to 61.[5] Later another independent councillor Aakash Tiwari rejoined INC, increasing the latter strength to 8 in the corporation.[6]
Background
The Raipur Municipal Corporation is responsible for the civic administration and infrastructure development of Raipur. Established in 1867 as the Raipur Municipal Committee, it was upgraded to a Municipal Corporation in 1973. The corporation comprises 70 wards, each represented by an elected councilor. The mayor, who leads the corporation, was traditionally elected indirectly by the councilors. However, in December 2024, the Chhattisgarh state cabinet approved a shift to direct elections for mayors and chairpersons of municipal bodies, allowing citizens to elect these positions directly. On January 7, 2025, the state government of Chhattisgarh finalized the reservation policy for all local bodies, including the Raipur. As per the policy, the mayoral seat of Raipur has been reserved for women.[7]
Under the new policy, the distribution of wards is as follows:[8][9]
- 35 wards reserved for the general category, out of which 11 are reserved for women
- 23 wards reserved for Other Backward Classes (OBC), with 8 reserved for women
- 9 wards reserved for Scheduled Castes (SC)
- 3 wards reserved for Scheduled Tribes (ST)
