Voters will vote to elect their ward corporator who then will elect the mayor. The post of BMC Mayor is currently held by Shiv Sena’s Kishori Pednekar.
The post of BMC mayor is largely ceremonial as major power lies in the hand of the commissioner, an IAS appointed by the Chief Minister of Maharashtra. The commissioner is responsible for the implementation of all schemes, allotment of tenders, and creating quality checks for the same.
The functional role of the BMC mayor, on the other hand, includes presiding over deliberations of the civic house of elected representatives.
