NEW DELHI: In a surprise move, AAP declared on Monday it was withdrawing from the mayoral election, effectively allowing BJP an easy victory. Despite gaining a majority in the MCD elections in 2022 and winning the mayoral elections for three terms, the party refused to contest the election, citing a systematic denial of fair electoral opportunity and non-cooperation by the executive.
It condemned what it called horse-trading and unethical electoral practices.
Delhi BJP has nominated Raja Iqbal Singh as its candidate for mayor and Jai Bhagwan Yadav for deputy mayor. Both filed nominations at the municipal secretary's office on Monday for the elections scheduled for April 25. Monday was the last day for filing nominations.
Raja Iqbal Singh, a second-term councillor from Mukherjee Nagar, had served as mayor in the erstwhile north corporation. He is currently leader of the opposition.
Yadav, who is deputy leader of opposition, is from Begumpur and is also serving a second term.
