The Short
The House approved the Senate’s amendments to the Municipal Corporations (Amendment) Bill, 2026 by 23 votes to 13, with no abstentions, according to Parliament’s sitting record. The record reviewed does not establish presidential assent or when provisions would take effect.

The same official page records that the House considered the amendments and approved them, with 23 votes in favour, 13 against and no abstentions. This is the recorded vote on the Senate’s amendments, rather than a vote total inferred from a party’s number of seats.
The page also lists other government business, including consideration of amendments to a separate miscellaneous-provisions bill. It does not give a completed result for that item in the text reviewed. Outcomes must be checked separately; this report concerns only the Municipal Corporations vote.

The detailed amendment text, any subsequent assent record and commencement information remain the follow-up checks. No claim is made here about new measures already being in force or their financial effect.
