The voting to elect Mayor, Deputy Mayor and six members of the Standing Committee for Municipal Corporation of Delhi has completed and counting is underway. The AAP has fielded Shelly Oberoi for the Mayor post and Aale Mohammad Iqbal for Deputy Mayor while BJP has nominated Rekha Gupta for the Mayor and Kamal Bagri for Deputy Mayor post.
The election is being held after the Supreme Court ruled out the possibility of nominated members participating in the voting process. Both AAP and BJP sparred over the rights of nominated members to vote in the election after the result was announced in December. Earlier, the civic body had previously made three attempts to hold the elections.
The AAP had bagged 134 seats and BJP got 104 seats while Congress bagged nine seats in the MCD polls
