BJP sweeps Haryana civic polls, wins all 3 municipal corporations

The BJP secured victories in the municipal corporations of Ambala, Sonipat and Panchkula, claiming all three mayoral posts in the Haryana civic polls.

The results were declared on 14 May 2026 and built on the party's recent Assembly election gains in the state. BJP candidates prevailed across the three corporations, consolidating control over key urban local bodies.

An exception occurred in Uklana, where Independent candidate Reema Soni defeated the BJP nominee. The outcome highlighted pockets of resistance despite the party's broader sweep.
