AAP Finalizes Candidates for Delhi Elections, Kejriwal to Contest From New Delhi

Arvind Kejriwal faces strong opposition from rivals as AAP announces its full slate for the 2025 Delhi Assembly polls.

AAP released its fourth and final list of candidates, completing its lineup for all 70 Delhi Assembly seats ahead of elections expected in February 2025.
Arvind Kejriwal will contest from the New Delhi constituency for the fourth consecutive time, facing Congress's Sandeep Dikshit and likely BJP candidate Parvesh Verma.
The party has dropped 19 sitting MLAs across its lists to address anti-incumbency concerns, while retaining key leaders such as Atishi, Gopal Rai, and Saurabh Bharadwaj in their current constituencies.
The BJP has yet to announce its candidates, while Congress has named 21 contenders, including Sheila Dikshit's son, Sandeep Dikshit, for the high-profile New Delhi seat.
AAP emphasizes its governance record over the past decade, while opposition parties highlight alleged corruption and governance failures as central campaign issues.
