In Belagavi with 58 wards, 519 candidates are in the fray.

BJP is under pressure to win all three corporations. Especially, Hubballi-Dharwad as it has been the party’s stronghold for more than two decades. Also, it is the hometown of chief minister Basavaraj Bommai, Union minister Pralhad Joshi and senior BJP member Jagadish Shettar.

The polls for three corporations were held on September 3 by adhering to COVID-19 protocols.
