The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday nominated corporator Ritu Tawade for the Mumbai mayor election, while its ally Shiv Sena declared Sanjay Ghadi as its candidate for the deputy mayor’s post.
BJP leader Amit Satam declared Tawade’s name, while Shiv Sena leader Rahul Shewale announced Ghadi’s candidature at the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) headquarters.
Tawade is a corporator from Ward 132, while Ghadi was elected from Ward 5 in the January 15 civic election.
Ghadi will serve as deputy mayor for 15 months, Shiv Sena secretary Sanjay More has said in a statement.
He was one of the senior former Shiv Sena (UBT) corporators who switched sides to join the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena.
By splitting the deputy mayor’s term in Mumbai, the Shiv Sena intends to give an opportunity to four of its corporators.
