How Did Panchayat Season 4 End?

By the end of season 4, the voter turnout has been counted and election results are announced. Against the great efforts of Abhishek Sir, Vikas and the rest to save their reign, the political contest between the two housewives, Manju Devi (Neena Gupta) and Kranti Devi (Sunita Rajwar) ends in the latter winning.
