Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Chandrashekhar Halemani has been elected unopposed as vice president of Alamel Town Panchayat, with election officer and tahsildar Mallanna Yalagoda announcing the result after Thursday's election where Halemani was the only candidate to file a nomination.
- The town panchayat had 19 members in total, and 18 remained after one member resigned.
- Three members were absent from the election process: BJP member Suma Katti, Congress member Prema Bammanahalli and former president Sadik Sumbad.
- The remaining 15 members attended the election and backed Halemani's selection.
- The unopposed election matters because it signals unified support for Halemani among the panchayat's attending members, a sign of strength for the new vice president and the town panchayat leadership going forward.
