In contrast to latest elections held in 2015, the mayors were elected in CDGK by direct voting of all elected counsellors and not just nazims or chairmen of a union council/committee. Each union council consisted of 13 members, which gave a total electorate of 2,314 members from 178 union councils.
2015 Karachi local government elections
See main article: 2015 Karachi local elections. There were 209 union committees and 38 union councils in Karachi.[7] [8] Both union councils and union committees are similar in that they are territorial units and composition;[9] the main difference between them is that the union committee represents an urban area whereas the union council represents the rural or suburban areas.[10] Each union council has a union council chairman and one member of the district council. The chairman of each district is selected by the chairmen of union councils and union committees.
The following is the result of union committees in local government election held on 5 December 2015.[11] [12]
