Overview

• BJP candidates won chairperson posts in eight of 12 ward committees, including Central, South and Shahdara North zones.
• On June 3, the party captured 10 of 18 seats on the Standing Committee, surpassing the threshold for a decisive majority.
• AAP retained control of four zones—City Sadar Paharganj, Karol Bagh, West and Rohini—and has pledged to play a robust opposition role.
• Fifteen former AAP councillors formed the BJP-backed Indraprastha Vikas Party but failed to secure any ward committee positions.
• Cross-voting in Rohini and South zones and allegations of a tacit BJP–AAP understanding drew criticism from the Congress, which abstained from the vote.
