The meeting to nominate the Mayor was chaired by Rohtak division Commissioner Suprabha Dahiya, who was also the Chief Returning Officer for the election.

Meanwhile, Shakuntla Rajliwala was elected Mayor of Hisar Nagar Nigam today. Her bid for the post was supported by Congress.

Rajliwala bagged 16 out of 20 votes while the remaining four votes went to her rival from INLD, Rekha Aran.
Only BJP and INLD had fought the election on party symbols. BJP had contested 14 of the 20 seats but lost all of them.
Congress, on the other hand, did not contest the elections but openly supported Rajliwala.
