Elections were held this morning at the Kakinada Municipal Corporation Conference Hall for the vacant posts of Mayor and Deputy Mayor as per the directions of the State Election Commission. As expected the TDP corporators did not attend the mayoral election. Sitting Mayor Sunkara Pavani, deputy mayor -1 Kala Sathibabu were defeated by KMC Council through a `no-confidence motion’ on October 5.
