Delhi MCD Schedules Long-Delayed Mayoral Elections for November 14
The elections, postponed since April, will feature candidates from AAP and BJP, with the mayoral post reserved for a Dalit candidate.
- The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) will hold mayoral and deputy mayoral elections on November 14 at the Aruna Asaf Ali Sabhagar, Civic Centre.
- The mayoral position is reserved for a Scheduled Caste candidate as per the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act's rotation policy.
- Candidates for mayor include Mahesh Kumar Khichi from AAP and Kishan Lal from BJP, while Ravinder Bhardwaj and Neeta Bisht are vying for deputy mayor.
- The elections have been delayed by over six months due to political disputes between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
- The delay means the elected mayor will serve a shortened term of five months instead of the usual one-year term.
