Out of 31 wards in Ferozepur, two candidates – each one of BJP and Akali from ward No. 13 and 21 namely Mandeep Kaur and Charnjeet Kau – have been elected as unopposed.  In the remaining 29 wards, the fight is between SAD-BJP candidates and Independents in certain wards.  While Congress stands nowhere in the race.

Perhaps it was the first time since the start of the campaign that a joint session has been organized on the last day of campaigning by BJP and SAD.  Both the party leaders spoke for vote for the candidate jointly.
