Mayorship Hopes In a significant development, The former Mayor and ex-Peoples Conference leader, Junaid Azim Mattu was elected Mayor of Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) for the second term.Mattu, won 44 votes while Imran has got 7 votes. 26 members walked out during the election process.
Pertinent to mention here that Mattu, who does not have any known party affiliation currently, defeated Sheikh Imran, a former deputy mayor who was removed from office last year through a no-confidence motion. Imran also did not represent any party in the mayoral polls.
Mattu tweeted on micro blogging website Twitter : “What a humbling, emphatic verdict! We have touched the 2/3rd majority mark!
Thank You to my fellow Hon’ble Corporators and the people of Srinagar for your trust and faith again.
Together we will all serve Srinagar and take it to new heights!
In recent memories ugly politics has hit hard the SMC functioning hard .
Masses are expecting now with some sort of semblance will be seen in the functioning of Srinagar Municipal Corporation and Junaid Mattu will take all steps for betterment of the Srinagar city .
