Polling Begins for Bypolls in 12 MCD Wards in Delhi
Polling has commenced in 12 wards of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) across various constituencies in the national capital, including Mundka, Shalimar Bagh, Ashok Vihar, and Chandni Chowk. The by-elections, which are being held to fill vacant seats, are taking place in general, women-reserved, and SC-reserved categories.
According to officials, a total of 12 wards are going to the polls, with a significant number of candidates in the fray. The by-elections are being seen as a crucial test for the ruling AAP government in Delhi, which has been facing criticism over various issues, including the city's sanitation and waste management.
The 12 wards where polling is underway include Mundka, Shalimar Bagh, Ashok Vihar, Chandni Chowk, and others. Voters are exercising their franchise at designated polling stations, with strict security arrangements in place to ensure a smooth and peaceful polling process.
The by-elections in the MCD wards are being held in accordance with the Delhi Municipal Corporation (DMC) Act, 1957. The results of the by-elections are expected to be declared later in the day, with the winning candidates set to take oath as members of the MCD.
The by-elections in the MCD wards are being closely watched by political observers, who are keenly awaiting the outcome to gauge the public's sentiment towards the ruling AAP government. The results of the by-elections are expected to provide a glimpse into the city's voter mood ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections in Delhi.
As the polling process continues, officials are urging citizens to exercise their franchise and participate in the democratic process.
