Saxena instructed to make the deputy mayor the presiding officer for the elections if the mayor refuses to hold the elections. In case, the deputy mayor also refuses, the senior most member of the House will preside over the elections, he ordered.
Following the order, the MCD commissioner issued an order for the conduct of the elections for the sixth member of the standing committee.
