The post of the president of the CMC was reserved for woman (general category), while the post of vice-president was reserved for a woman belonging to the Scheduled Caste.

As Congress has the majority (22 seats) in the 35 member Council, the victory of its candidate was almost confirm. BJP has only 13 seats.

However, finalisation of the candidate was a tough task for the party as there were nine women councillors in the Congress party aspiring for the president's post in the beginning. BJP also had four women councillors.

The three major contenders in the Congress were Meenkshi Madhav Bannanje, Amrita Krishnamurthy and Shobha Poojary. However, ahead of internal voting, Amritha withdraw the nomination and Meenakshi easily defeated Shobha.

As the post of the vice-president is reserved for a woman of the Schedule Caste, there was only one Councillor in the entire council — Sandhya Kumari of the Congress— who was eligible. She represents the Vadabhandeshwara ward. This helped the Congress to finalise its vice-president candidate.

In her speech, Mseenakshi said she will give priority to drinking water supply in the city. She will concentrate on the completion of the pending works. More details are awaited.
