Come April, BJP likely to clinch mayor post in MCD
The Morning Standard
|March 17, 2025
THE AAP ended 15 years of BJP's rule in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) in December 2022.
In February 2023, Shelly Oberoi became the first mayor from the party and Mahesh Khichi was elected second mayor in November 2024.
However, there is strong possibility that the Opposition BJP in the MCD House may win the mayoral election scheduled in April this year. The number is in favour of the BJP as it has 131 votes while the majority mark is 132-133. The ruling AAP has 122 votes and it can reach the majority mark only if the Congress and an independent councillor extend their support to the party.
