With this latest announcement, the Congress has now declared candidates for 14 wards in the 15-member municipal corporation. The party had earlier, on Thursday, released its first list of eight candidates, leaving seven seats undecided at the time. The swift follow-up announcement indicates the party’s intent to finalise its campaign structure well ahead of the elections.
The only remaining ward, Khaliyar, is expected to be finalised soon. Party insiders indicated that deliberations are ongoing and the announcement could be made shortly. Supporters have already begun informal celebrations in anticipation of the final candidate declaration, reflecting enthusiasm within the local unit.
Meanwhile, political activity in Mandi has picked up pace, with rival parties also expected to intensify their campaigns. Local issues such as urban infrastructure, sanitation, stray dogs and stray cattle menace are likely to dominate the election discourse.
As the final candidate announcement for Khaliyar ward is awaited, the Congress appears poised to enter the electoral battle in Mandi, signalling the start of an active and closely watched municipal election season in the region.
