Chandigarh mayor poll: Supreme Court declares AAP candidate Kuldeep Kumar winner

The Supreme Court on Tuesday overturned the result of the Chandigarh mayoral poll in which the BJP candidate had emerged winner after the Returning Officer invalidated eight ballot votes, and declared defeated AAP-Congress alliance candidate Kuldeep Kumar as the winner.

A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud noted that the eight ballots which were invalidated by Returning Officer Anil Masih were valid and they were cast in favour of AAP's mayoral candidate Kuldeep Kumar.
