Preparations for Delhi MCD Mayor elections in full swing, voting possible on April 29, political stir intensifies!
Political turmoil has intensified regarding the Mayor elections in Delhi Municipal Corporation (MCD). According to the information, the mayor’s election can be held on April 29. Elections for the Deputy Mayor and three members of the Standing Committee will also be held on the same day. This time Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is claiming to win the Mayor elections on its own. To win the post of Mayor, 137 votes are required, and in the current situation BJP is said to have more votes than this.
Although BJP also has the support of Indraprastha Vikas Party, but the party will not need to depend on their votes for victory. Earlier, in the Standing Committee meeting on March 31, 9 out of total 18 members had retired. Of these, 3 members were associated with the House and 6 members were associated with the Zone. Now elections will also be held to fill these vacant posts.
