The Election Commission of India (ECI) is set to reveal the schedule for the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections on Tuesday, January 7, at 2 pm.
The Election Commission will hold a press conference to announce the schedule for the Delhi Assembly elections. The current term of the 70-member Delhi Assembly is set to conclude on February 23.
In 2020, the election schedule was announced on January 6, with voting taking place on February 8 and results being declared on February 11.
This year, the AAP, led by Arvind Kejriwal, is striving for a third consecutive term, while the BJP is determined to regain control of Delhi. Meanwhile, Congress is gearing up for a strong challenge, hoping for a potential upset.
The AAP came victorious in the 2015 and 2020 elections, securing 67 and 62 seats, respectively, while the BJP was limited to single digits. The Congress, which had governed Delhi for 15 years, was unable to win any seats.
Despite contesting the 2024 Lok Sabha elections together as part of the INDIA alliance, Congress and AAP will compete separately in the upcoming Delhi Assembly polls.
The BJP is intensifying efforts to oust the AAP, accusing the party of corruption.
On Sunday, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) unveiled its fourth and final list of 38 candidates for the Delhi Assembly elections, becoming the first major party to announce its full slate of 70 contenders. Party leader Arvind Kejriwal will contest from the New Delhi constituency for the fourth time, while Chief Minister Atishi will seek re-election from Kalkaji.
