Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) leader Ajit Singh has been re-elected unopposed as the party president for theseventh time.

The nominations for the party's top post were taken last week and the results announced yesterday.

There was no other nomination except Singh's, who was re-elected RLD chief for a term of three year, a party statement said here.

RLD had last month held elections for the post of party chief in several districts and states, including poll-bound Uttar Pradesh, the statement added.

67-year-old Singh, son of former prime minister Chaudhary Charan Singh, is the founder of RLD, which has a stronghold in parts of western UP.
 

The development comes at a time when RLD, which has got into a coalition with JD(U), NCP and BS4 for UP elections, has reportedly beenapproached by ruling Samajwadi Party leader Shivpal Yadav for a 'Bihar-like' mega alliance in the state.
