NEW DELHI: Assembly polls will be held in Delhi on February 5, and the results will be declared three days later, the Election Commission of India (ECI) announced on Tuesday, setting the stage for the first major election in 2025.

As many as 15.52 million people are eligible to vote in the Capital, as per the final electoral roll released on Monday, compared to 14.69 million in January 2020. The term of the Delhi assembly is due to end on February 23.

The ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which is hoping to return to power for a fourth time, has announced all 70 candidates. The Congress has named 48 candidates and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) 29.

The AAP has been battling allegations of financial irregularities and crumbling civic infrastructure even as the release of leaders such as former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia from prison has buoyed it in recent months.
