Mumbai Mayor to be elected after Jan 26 as BJP, Shinde Sena stake claim

Mumbai, Jan 17 (UNI) Mumbai is likely to get a mayor only after January 26 due to the various commitments of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis as well as other factors, official sources said here on Saturday.
According to sources, Fadnavis left for the Davos Investment Summit on Friday night and will return only on January 25, due to which the election to the Mumbai mayor's post is expected to take place after his return.
There are also other factors at work. Sources said that the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena plans to stake its claim to the Mumbai mayor's post. Contesting or conceding such claims or arriving at a consensus about the Mumbai Mayor's post is going to take some time even after Fadnavis' returns to Mumbai, sources said.
