The Mayor of Mumbai is the elected chief of the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai. He/she is the first citizen of the city. The role is largely ceremonial as the real powers are vested in the Municipal Commissioner.[1] The Mayor plays a decorative role of representing and upholding the dignity of the city and a functional role in deliberating over the discussions in the corporation.[2] Kishori Pednekar of the Shiv Sena political party is the current Mayor of Mumbai.

Current mayor[edit | edit source]

The current mayor is Kishori Pednekar and Deputy Mayor is Suhas Wadkar

History of the office[edit | edit source]

The designation of 'Chairman' of Mumbai since 1873 was changed into that of 'His/Her Lordship the Mayor', of Mumbai Municipal Corporation from November 1931.

Smt. Snehal Ambekar, Mayor of Mumbai from 2014 to 2017 (first person on the right), and the Executive Vice Mayor of Shanghai at an agreement signing ceremony, with the Indian Prime Minister and the Chinese President in the background.

Election of the mayor[edit | edit source]

The mayor is elected from within the ranks of the council in a quinquennial election. The elections are conducted in all 227 wards in the city to elect corporators. The party that wins the maximum number of seats holds an internal voting to decide the mayor. If no party or coalition can garner majority to select a mayor from amongst themselves for more than 1 month after general municipality elections or if the office of mayor becomes vacant for any reason mid term and still remains vacant for more than 2 months due to the first said reason, then a general election is held within the municipality for people to directly elect an executive mayor, to serve till end of term of the municipal house.

The tenure of the mayor is 2.5 years or till dissolution of municipal corporation, either by themselves or by state law.
