The West Bengal State Election Commission (SEC) on Tuesday announced there would not be repoll in any booth following the Kolkata Municipal Corporation elections held on April 18.
The SEC said there was no mention of electoral malpractices in the reports submitted by the returning officers on the polls to the 144-ward city civic corporation.
Complaining of violence, booth capturing, intimidation of voters and rampant fake voting, the state's opposition parties had demanded repoll in a number of wards. The Election Commission, rejecting the demand, declared the final poll percentage to be 68.56 percent, a six percent jump from its earlier announcement on the poll day.
The Bharatiya Janata Party, meanwhile, has demanded the April 25 state-wide civic body elections be postponed and also called for repolling in all the wards of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation.
The Congress took out a rally in the city and submitted a memorandum against the violence on the KMC's polling day.
