As the State Election Commission had ordered on Tuesday re-polling at two polling booths of Mohali Municipal Corporation, the counting for this entire civic body will take place on Thursday.

Of the total candidates, 2,832 were independents, 2,037 from the ruling Congress, while 1,569 were Shiromani Akali Dal nominees.

The BJP, AAP and the BSP had fielded 1,003, 1,606 and 160 candidates, respectively.

The SAD and the BJP fought the elections separately after the former walked out of the National Democratic Alliance over the farm laws issue last year.

After the opposition parties had accused the ruling Congress of "capturing booths" and "indulging in violence" during polling on Sunday, Chief Minister Amarinder Singh had said on Tuesday they were crying foul in the face of their "imminent defeat" in the polls.
