No candidate filed nomination for Zilla Parishad (ZP) members from any party in the district both at Bhawaniapatna and Dharmagarh on Saturday. It appears the parties are yet to finalise their candidates.
While the BJD appears confident of bagging the Zilla Parishad chairman post, Congress is leaving no stone unturned to win it. Congress had won ZP election in the district last time.
In the three-tier panchayat poll, which would be held in February in five phases, 9,61,488 voters will cast their votes for 36 ZP zones, 273 sarpanchs, 273 samiti members and 3377 ward members. The selection of the candidates is being hurriedly prepared by the party leaders for Sarpanchs, Samiti and ZP members.
Seven panchayat Samiti chairman seats are reserved for women candidates out of 13 blocks in the district. Similarly, 18 seats are reserved for women candidates out of the 36 ZP seats. Out of 273 sarpanch and samiti members seats, 139 are reserved for women candidates and 1, 810 seats are reserved for women ward members.
The Zilla Parishad president seat is reserved for ST woman candidate while six seats are reserved for ST women out of 36 ZP seats in the district.
