The six previously nominated Office Bearers were elected unopposed as there were no other nominations to contest.

Out of the 378 eligible members, 278 votes were cast in the election. Homa Mistry, from Trail Blazer Tours India, served as the Returning Officer for the election. The newly elected Office Bearers and EC members will serve for the 2023-25 term.
