बारां निकाय चुनाव में बड़ा उलटफेर देखने को मिला। आम आदमी पार्टी ने धमाकेदार एंट्री करते हुए कई सीटों पर जीत दर्ज की, जो सभी के लिए चौंकाने वाला रहा। भाजपा और कांग्रेस को उम्मीद से कम सीटें मिलीं। भाजपा ने कुछ वार्डों में जीत हासिल की लेकिन बहुमत नहीं पा सकी। कांग्रेस का प्रदर्शन भी कमजोर रहा। AAP ने पहली बार बारां में अपनी मजबूत उपस्थिति दर्ज कराई। निर्दलीय उम्मीदवारों ने भी अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया। इस चुनाव ने राजस्थान की स्थानीय राजनीति में नए समीकरण बना दिए हैं।
