There is a political storm in the election in co-operative sector. The directors elected from Kolar, Chikkaballapur (women), Gudibande, Gauribidnur and Malur are all new face.  The rest are the former directors.

Congress and JD(S) supporters have secured 5 posts each. Congress has won from Bangarpet, Shidlaghatta and Gauribidnur. Two are unimously elected. JD(S) supporters have won from Malur, Mulbagal, Chintamani, Chikkaballapur, and Chikkaballapur (women).
This has raised the possibility for both the party to hold president. Ashwathappa from Gudibande is supported by BJP.
