In the 11-member pancahayat, 10 panchayat members were present while one could not remain present as he was out of station.
The election was necessitated after former sarpanch, Fermino Fernandes resigned from the post a week back as per a mutual agreement between the members of the panchayat.
Blaize was the sarpanch of the village during his last term. The new sarpanch has a stake in the hospitality industry and owns a restaurant in the village.
