BJP dominates MCD ward committee polls
Millennium Post Delhi
|Delhi 05 September 2024
Establishing its dominance in the Standing Committee of Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) — the highest decision making body of the civic agency — the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won in seven out of the 12 zones in MCD zonal wards polls held on Wednesday; while Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) secured the rest five.
-
These elections, the first since the MCD’s unification in 2022, were conducted after a 19-month delay for filling the posts of chairman, deputy chairman of the zonal ward committees, and one member each for the Standing Committee.
Of the 12 zones in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) elections, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) secured unopposed victories in two zones — City SP and Karol Bagh — while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won uncontested in Keshav Puram due to a lack of opposing nominations. AAP also claimed a win in the Rohini Zone with 14 votes. In the South Zone, despite AAP holding a 10-seat lead, crossvoting led to an 11-11 tie for the zonal chairman’s position. The tie was broken by a draw, with AAP ultimately emerging victorious.
