Despite the BJP’s dominant showing, the Ami Panjekar panel managed a few key breakthroughs. Jack Ajit Sukhija narrowly won Ward 17, defeating BJP’s Dennis Edward Francis Jorge by just two votes. Additionally, Leonid Furtado secured Ward 7, providing one of the few wins for the opposition-backed panel.

The results reaffirm the BJP-backed panel’s continued grip on Panaji’s civic administration. In the 2021 CCP elections, the BJP-backed group had won 25 of the 30 wards, and the 2026 outcome once again highlights its strong influence in the capital city ahead of future political contests in Goa.
