Delhi's upcoming mayoral term will see a Dalit candidate in office, but only for five months as political infighting has shortened the tenure.
The long-delayed mayoral elections, set for November 14, follow a seven-month standoff between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which led to repeated disruptions of the MCD House besides delaying the polls initially scheduled for April this year.

However, the new mayor and the deputy mayor will only get to serve for a period of five months.
