The West Bengal State Election Commission (WBSEC) on Thursday issued a notification to announce that elections to 108 municipalities in the state will be held on February 27. The notification, however, did not mention the date of vote counting, which, the officials said, will be declared later.

Elections to 108 municipalities will be held on February 27. The date of counting will be announced later. The entire election process will be completed by March 8,” an SEC official said. In 20 districts — Darjeeling, Cooch Behar, Alipurduar, Jalpaiguri, Uttar Dinajpur, Dakshin Dinajpur, Malda, Murshidabad, Nadia, North 24-Parganas, South 24-Parganas, Howrah, Hooghly, Purba Medinipur, Paschim Medinipur, Jhargram, Purulia, Bankura, Purba Bardhaman, Birbhum — 108 municipal bodies will go to polls. The list of candidates for elections to 107 municipalities, scheduled on February 27, has led to a major tussle in the Trinamool Congress (TMC).It all started with Kalyan Banerjee, senior leader and MP of TMC, openly criticising national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee. Young leaders of the party then started a campaign against Kalyan Banerjee. Although the party disciplinary committee has warned both the sections, the conflict doesn't seem to be ending.[1]
