Mir was so confident that he had announced his victory at the Shankarpora polling station as soon as the voting concluded.   

“The total number of votes polled in the ward was nine, out of which I got eight. My opposite (candidate) got only one,” he told reporters at SKICC here where counting of votes was held.
