Ajit Bacal was elected unopposed as sarpanch of Azossim-Mandur while Reema Naik was elected as deputy sarpanch at a special meeting in the panchayat on Wednesday.
This is the second instance when both Bacal and Naik will be holding the post of the sarpanch and the deputy sarpanch, during the current term.
Elections to the post of sarpanch and deputy sarpanch were held on account of the resignation of Pranisha Naik as sarpanch and Cipriano Afonso as deputy sarpanch recently.
Speaking to the media after the election, Bacal said he would try and complete the unfinished works in the village, particularly the strengthening of the bundhs to ensure that saline water does not enter the fields.
