Congress candidate D. Thimmaiah and JD (S) candidate C.N. Manje Gowda were formally declared elected to the Legislative Council from the dual-member Mysuru-Chamarajanagar local bodies’ constituency late on Tuesday night.
According to Deputy Commissioner of Mysuru Bagadi Gautham, who is also the Returning Officer for the elections, the two were declared elected after the “sixth count”, which entailed transfer of votes in the preferential ballot papers.
A total of seven candidates were in the fray for the dual-member constituency including BJP’s Raghu Kautilya, Kannada Chaluvali Vatal Paksha’s Vatal Nagaraj and independents viz. Gurulingaiah, K.C. Basavaraja Swamy and Manjunatha R.

The Ministry of Railways has announced a rationalisation of passenger fares, effective from December 26, aiming to balance rising operational costs while keeping passenger impact minimal. Suburban services and Monthly Season Ticket holders remain unaffected, while ordinary and AC classes see small increases. The move is expected to generate ₹600 crore in revenue and strengthen safety and efficiency across the railway network.
