Afzal Imam is Mayor, again

Afzal Imam was sworn in as the Mayor of Patna for the third time on Friday evening.The election to the post of Mayor was held on August 11. However, the result was not announced because ward number 28 councillor Vinay Kumar Pappu had moved the Patna high court, claiming that Imam could not contest for the post since he had been earlier ousted from the office through a no-confidence motion. However, the high court this Monday ruled it did not see any illegality in Imam contesting for the post again.
