The Municipal Elections in Delhi will be held on December 4, 2022, with votes being counted on December 7, 2022.
The municipal elections in 2022 are widely viewed as a three-way fight between the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Aam Aadmi Party, and the Congress. However, former BJP mayors claim the party 'will rout all opposition' to reclaim power. For the past 15 years, the BJP has ruled the MCD. The BJP won 181 seats in the 250-seat civic body in the 2017 elections, increasing its total from the 2012 election (138).
The AAP contested in civic elections for the first time in 2017 and won 49 seats, replacing the Congress (which won 31 seats) as the MCD's number two party.
Earlier that day, on November 9, Kejriwal led a meeting with top officials in Delhi.
