CCP Elections 2026: Babush Monserrate Panel Sweeps Panaji Corporation Wards The Babush Monserrate-backed panel, supported by the Bharatiya Janata Party, achieved a significant victory in the elections for the Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP), securing the majority of wards in the civic body. The results highlighted the panel’s strong performance across multiple wards, with candidates winning in key areas. Yutika Zambaulikar emerged as the winner for Ward 1, while Carolina Po claimed victory in Ward 2. Margarida Fernandes secured Ward 3, and Rohit Monserrate won Ward 4. Kishore Sastry was elected from Ward 5, and Bento Lorena took Ward 6. Kareena Shirodkar won Ward 8, further solidifying the panel’s dominance. The only ward not captured by the Babush Monserrate panel was Ward 7, where Leonid Furtado of the Ami Panjekar panel secured the win. This outcome underscored the panel’s broad appeal and organizational strength, as they maintained control over most wards in the city corporation. The results reflect a clear mandate for the Babush-backed candidates, positioning the panel as a dominant force in the governance of Panaji. The victory is expected to influence the functioning of the civic body, with the panel’s candidates now holding key roles in decision-making processes. The election results also marked a shift in local political dynamics, with the Ami Panjekar panel managing to secure a single ward despite the overall trend favoring the Babush Monserrate group. This outcome highlights the competitive nature of the electoral landscape in Panaji, where multiple political factions vie for influence. The success of the Babush panel, however, suggests a strong base of support among voters, particularly in areas where their candidates were able to consolidate votes.#bharatiya_janata_party #babush_monserrate #corporation_of_city_of_panaji #yutika_zambaulikar #carolina_po
