In a surprising outcome, the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) won the mayor election in Chandigarh, with Harpreet Kaur Babla becoming the new mayor. She got 19 votes, even though BJP only had 16 councilors. The win was possible because some councilors from Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) cross-voted in BJP's favor.
