Supreme Court to hear on February 3 plea by AAP’s Shelly Oberoi to expedite Delhi MCD Mayor polls

The national capital does not yet have a mayor despite voting in members of its municipal corporation early last month.

AAP had won 134 of 250 wards, while the BJP had won 104. Results were announced on December 7, 2022.

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is without a mayor and deputy mayor after two previous sitting of the MCD saw violence break out among the AAP and BJP councillors.

Initially, given its lack of a majority, the saffron party had said it would be putting forth candidates for the two posts, but has since gone back on that decision.

According to a report by PTI, the house was adjourned on January 6 and January 24 amid ruckus.

The presiding officer had to adjourn the House indefinitely on January 24 following shoving and sloganeering against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

The exchanges broke out as AAP members had raised an objection to nominated councillors being given the oath first.
