AAP releases all its 70 names for Capital, 20 sitting MLAs dropped

Party chief Arvind Kejriwal will contest from New Delhi constituency for the fourth consecutive time, while chief minister Atishi will seek re-election from the Kalkaji segment.

The latest list confirms a key strategy, reported by HT on December 8, to counter anti-incumbency by dropping 20 sitting MLAs and shifting senior leaders, such as Manish Sisodia from his traditional Patparganj seat in East Delhi, which he has held since 2013, to Jangpura in south Delhi.

The final list was released after Kejriwal chaired a meeting of the party's Political Affairs Committee (PAC). "Today Aam Aadmi Party announced its candidates on all 70 seats. The party is contesting the elections with full confidence and full preparation.

BJP is missing," Kejriwal said in a post on X. He criticized the BJP for lacking vision, saying, "They have no CM face, no team, no planning and no vision for Delhi. They have only one slogan, only one policy and only one mission - Remove Kejriwal'." The BJP is yet to announce any candidate. A Delhi BJP leader said that the partly is making strong preparations with leaders visiting people. "The first list of the BJP will be announced soon," said the BJP leader, asking not to be named.

The Congress announced its first list of 21 candidates on December 12.
