Former Minister Baburao Chinchansur of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to be declared elected unopposed to the Legislative Council as he is the only candidate to file nomination papers for the lone seat for which byelection is being held.
He filed his nomination on Monday, the last day for filing nominations, for the byelection to be held to fill the seat vacated by senior leader C.M. Ibrahim in the Legislative Council.
The nomination papers would be scrutinised on Tuesday when he would be declared elected unopposed if the papers are in order.
