As per early trends, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is taking massive lead on around seven seats amid the vote counting in the Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP) elections. 

Panaji's CCP elections feature major players like BJP-backed panels, Congress nominees, independents, regional groups, and citizens' forums. Contenders eye local pain points: waste woes, traffic jams, water shortages, and crumbling infrastructure. The polls pit Utpal Parrikar—son of late CM Manohar Parrikar—against BJP MLA and Revenue Minister Atanasio 'Babush' Monserrate in a survival showdown. After his 2022 independent loss to Monserrate, Utpal has allied with Congress and AAP to back his Ami Panjekar panel challenging Monserrate's group. Though officially apolitical, these elections mirror party clashes; Monserrate's panels have dominated across affiliations.

Several CCP wards are battlegrounds with star power and fierce rivalries. Incumbents, newcomers, activists and professionals are diversifying the fray, especially in tight races where slim margins decided past winners. Community favourites could tip the scales.

• Rohit Monserrate (Ward 4): Panaji's sitting Mayor and son of Atanasio Monserrate, leading the BJP-backed panel.
• Utpal Parrikar: Not running personally but steering the Ami Panjekar forum as chief strategist to revive his father's legacy.
• Surendra Furtado (Ward 9): Ex-Mayor and civic heavyweight running for the opposition.
• Uday Madkaikar (Ward 13): Another former Mayor on the Monserrate-supported ticket.
• Kabir Makhija (Ward 9): Ex-co-opted councillor in a marquee clash with Surendra Furtado.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) takes early lead amid vote counting in Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP) elections. 

There are total 69 candidates who contested the Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP) elections across the 30 wards.

Rohit Joe Monserrate (Ward 3, BJP-backed) became Mayor, with Vasant Ashok Agshikar (Ward 26, BJP-backed) as initial Deputy Mayor, later replaced by Sanjeev Naik in 2022.

Revenue Minister Atanasio Monserrate voiced strong optimism for his panel's success in the Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP) elections, confirming candidates after talks with Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and party leaders. Utpal Parrikar criticised the existing civic body for ignoring residents' issues, pushing for more public input in governance decisions.

Utpal Parrikar previously contested as an independent in the 2022 Goa Assembly elections for the Panaji seat after being denied a BJP ticket, but lost to Revenue Minister Atanasio ‘Babush’ Monserrate. Sources say he's now engaging stakeholders to form a wide-ranging yet independent citizens' panel for the CCP polls. Parrikar stresses preventing vote splits while keeping the focus on civic fixes.

In the March 20, 2021, CCP elections, Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Monserrate-led group swept 25 of 30 wards at 70.19 per cent turnout, Goa's lowest then, leaving five for opposition independents and Congress allies.

The vote counting began across 30 wards for the Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP) elections on March 13 at Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Stadium where polling was wrapped up on March 11. 

The contest pits BJP-backed panel leader Panaji MLA Atanasio 'Babush' Monserrate, contesting all 30 wards with Mayor Rohit Monserrate in Ward 4, against a Congress-supported opposition coalition featuring independent candidates like Utpal Parrikar.

Utpal Parrikar, son of the late Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, has launched 'Ami Panjekar' (We Panjimkars), an independent citizens' panel targeting civic issues in the upcoming Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP) elections.

He emphasised that the forum isn't a direct challenge to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Instead, it unites people from various political backgrounds to focus solely on local problems like infrastructure and services, steering clear of broader party politics.

Voter participation in Panaji hit 69.07 per cent, peaking at 81.94 per cent in Ward 23, as 69 candidates competed via ballot papers at 48 booths; reservations included 10 wards for women, 8 for OBCs and 1 for STs.

Polling for the Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP) elections wrapped up on March 11 (Wednesday), across 30 wards, with votes set to be tallied starting at 8:00 am on March 13 (Friday) at Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Stadium in Goa.
