Both candidates submitted their nomination forms at the SDM office in Kullu, marking a key step in the ongoing local body elections. Vibha Singh, who previously represented Dhaugi Ward as a Zila Parishad member, has entered the electoral fray once again from Jyeshtha Ward.
Nisha Thakur, contesting from Mohal Ward with the BJP’s support, also formally filed her nomination, joining the growing list of candidates in the district.
Following the nominations, both candidates have begun campaigning across rural areas, accompanied by their supporters.
Speaking after filing her nomination, Vibha Singh said she is well aware of the issues in the ward and would work towards resolving them in coordination with the administration.
