  • An independent candidate, Dr. Inderjit Yadav, defeated the BJP in Manesar, marking a notable exception in the party's dominance.
  • The Congress suffered a major setback, failing to secure any mayoral seat and losing in traditional strongholds such as Rohtak and Sonepat.
  • The voter turnout was notably low at 41%, significantly lower than the 68% recorded in the 2024 state assembly elections.
  • Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini described the results as an endorsement of the BJP's policies and its 'triple-engine government' approach.
