2nd Candidates’ List by BJP

Parvesh Verma was sent to New Delhi constituency during the last elections as he was mp before, Karan Khatri from narela constituency also have been given a chance alongside other 28 candidates. All political parties are gearing up for the election in which the five-year term aproaches its end, ‘AAP’ has already revealed all of their candidates.

BJP placed ex-MP Ramesh Bidhuri in competition with Delhi Chief Minister Atishi in Parliament from Kalkaji and also provided a ticket to now unrepentant Kailash Gahlot who had defected to the BJP after denouncing AAP for having "compromised values and principles." Gahlot will be contesting the election from Bijwasan.

At the same time, Kejriwal on Saturday insisted upon the assertion that the BJP has decided to nominate its leader Ramesh Bidhuri as the brand chief minister candidate of the party which did elicit some anger from Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

The elections in Delhi have been set for the 5th of February, in a single election, with the enumeration of votes taking place a few days later on the 8th of February. As per the final electoral roll of Delhi, the national capital has 1,55,24,858 voters. This figure represents an increase of 1.09 since the publication of the draft of electors on October 29, 2024. There are 70 legislative assembly constituencies in Delhi (58 General and 12 SC).

After winning the Delhi Assembly elections twice, AAP has been the ruling party in Delhi since 2015. However, since 2014, the party has not been able to win a single seat at the Lok Sabha polls. Henceforth, we can expect an intense political battle between the AAP and opposition BJP in the upcoming elections.
