The JD(S) and the BJP teamed up to keep the Congress away from power in the District Central Cooperative (DCC) Bank elections in Mandya on Tuesday.
Though the Congress had a majority, it could not reach the magic number of eight.
C P Umesh Kumar was elected as chairman and JD(S) supporter H K Ashok was elected as vice-president.
DCC Bank elections were held amid the Congress-supported directors' walkout over the stay by the court of the Joint Registrar of Cooperative Societies against S H Narasimhaiah from participating in the voting, citing violation of norms.
