AAP picks Maliwal for RS, Sanjay Singh renominated

The nominations were announced by the party's political affairs committee, chaired by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is also the AAP's national convener.

"DCW chairperson Swati Maliwal has been nominated for the first time. The PAC has decided to continue with Sanjay Singh and ND Gupta for their respective second term as Rajya Sabha members," the party said.

Sitting Rajya Sabha MP Sushil Kumar Gupta - the AAP's Haryana state president has been dropped.

Delhi's three Rajya Sabha seats, currently held by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), will become vacant on January 27, when the MPs' six-year term expires. Nominations for the seats began on January 3.

Since the AAP has 62 of the 70 seats in the Delhi assembly, the party has sufficient number of MLAs in the assembly to ensure their election.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday nominated Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chairperson Swati Maliwal to the Rajya Sabha, and renominated sitting parliamentarians Sanjay Singh and ND Gupta for second terms in the Upper House.
