New Delhi: Over 2.4 lakh people will vote on Sunday in five municipal wards. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal campaigned for Aam Aadmi Party, while BJP had senior members like Bhupendra Yadav and North East Delhi MP Manoj Tiwari on the stump. With Congress also putting its weight behind its candidates, all parties are determined on a good show ahead of full municipal polls next year.
The bypolls in Shalimar Bagh, Rohini-C, Trilokpuri, Kalyanpuri and Chauhan Bagar were necessitated by three sitting councillors being elected MLAs in February last year and the deaths of two incumbents. Four of the five seats were held by AAP and one by BJP. A total of 26 candidates are in the fray, including three from Bahujan Samaj Party and eight independents. The polling time is from 7.30 am to 5.30 pm, the last hour reserved for Covid-positive voters and those who register higher than normal body temperature during the screening at the 327 polling booths.
