Delhi Assembly Polls 2025: AAP releases second list, Manish Sisodia to contest from Jangpura
In addition to Sisodia's shift, the list also features several new faces. Jitender Singh Shunty, who recently left the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has been fielded from Shahdara, replacing sitting AAP MLA and outgoing Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel.
FollowThe Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday (December 9) released its second list of 20 candidates for the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. The new list includes some key changes, with the most notable being the shift of former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who has represented Patparganj as an MLA. Sisodia will now contest from the Jangpura seat.
In a seat swap, the Patparganj seat will now be contested by Avadh Ojha, an educationist and popular YouTuber who recently joined AAP. Sisodia, reflecting on his new constituency, expressed his gratitude to party leader Arvind Kejriwal and said, "Patparganj was not just an assembly constituency for me, but the heart of the education revolution in Delhi. I consider myself a teacher, not a politician. There could be no better seat for a teacher than Patparganj."
