MCD Polls: Aam Aadmi Party Ready To Wipe Delhi Civic Elections, Exit Polls Predict | Delhi News


NEW DELHI: A day after voting for 250 municipal wards in Delhi, exit polls on Monday predicted a majority for Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) elections.

Claiming that the AAP is set to wrest power from the current Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the India Today-Axis My India Exit Poll predicted that the former was likely to win 149 to 171 wards in the national capital, while the BJP looks set to win in 69 to 91 wards.
Congress is likely to win three to seven constituencies according to the India Today-Axis My India Exit Poll, while other political parties could win five to nine constituencies.
According to the Times Now exit poll, the AAP will get 146-156 seats while for the BJP it would get 84-94 seats.
Between six and ten seats were allocated for Congress.

More than 50 percent of the vote was recorded in elections for Delhi’s 250 municipal districts on Sunday, December 4, with main rivals BJP and AAP claiming victory in the high-stakes race.
No major problems were reported in the electronic voting machines and voting was conducted peacefully with high security observed in the 3,360 critical booths in 493 locations where more than 25,000 police personnel, nearly 13,000 home guards and 100 companies of paramilitary forces, officials said.
Garbage collection and landfills have emerged as a major issue in the struggle between the AAP and the BJP, which has controlled municipal bodies for 15 years.
The polls are crucial for the AAP and Kejriwal as they seek expansion of the party ahead of the country’s 2024 general election.
A win in MCD surveys it will not only consolidate AAP’s post in Delhi but fuel its aspiration to emerge as a serious contender for BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the national stage.
The BJP, which had fielded its top leaders including national president JP Nadda, 19 union ministers like Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari and Piyush Goyal and the prime ministers of six states in the campaign, is also seeking redemption through a victory which lifts morale.
There were 1,349 candidates in the fray and more than 1.45 million voters could exercise their right to vote.
