New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) led by Arvind Kejriwal may have secured an absolute majority in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD Election), but still a big fear is haunting him regarding the mayoral election. Actually, 'AAP' wants to contest the mayoral election with full force. While gearing up for the mayoral election, AAP is taking information about the legal aspects of the entire election process under the MCD Act. A senior leader of the party has told that it is time for the mayoral election. Right now we are looking into the legal aspects. After that, the name of the mayor will be selected. For this, a meeting of the newly elected councilors will be called soon.
Let us tell you that till December 15, the code of conduct regarding the corporation elections is applicable in Delhi. Only after the code of conduct is over, the process of election of the mayor will start with the formation of MCD. For an absolute majority in the MCD, 126 councilors are needed. AAP has won a total of 134 seats. Even after that, AAP is making full preparations to avoid any lapse in the mayoral election. In fact, 14 MLAs and MPs of Delhi have the right to vote in the mayoral election. These 14 MLAs are nominated by the Delhi Assembly Speaker. However, his final approval has to be taken from the Lieutenant Governor (LG). According to a senior party leader, we are currently ascertaining the legal aspects of the franchise.
In fact, AAP is afraid that the BJP, which has 104 corporators, may create a ruckus in the election. Since there will be a woman mayor for the first year. Women were given tickets in 140 wards by AAP, in which 75 candidates won. One of them will be selected. However, the party says that no name has been decided yet. The party says that there will be a meeting with the councilors first. After finalizing some names in it, there will be a meeting of the Political Affairs Committee (PAC) of the party. Only then the final seal will be put on the name of the mayor.
