Pernem Municipal Council (PMC) chairperson Manoj Harmalkar and his deputy Usha Nagvekar resigned from their respective posts on Wednesday.
Harmalkar and Nagvekar tendered in their resignations as part of an agreement among the ruling group of councillors.
Ashwini Arvind Palyekar and Shivram Tukoji are now tipped to be the next chairperson and deputy chairperson, respectively.
Elsewhere in Pernem taluka, Chandel Hasapur Sarpanch Prajay Malik also submitted his resignation as sarpanch and Panch member after securing a government job.
Prajay Malik had been elected sarpanch barely six months ago, after the ruling group had ousted then sarpanch Tulshidas Gawas in a no-confidence motion.
With the resignation of Prajay Malik as panch, by-elections will now be conducted in his ward.
