Delhi MCD Election Results 2022 LIVE: ‘MCD me bhi Kejriwal’, AAP gets absolute majority

Delhi MCD Election Results 2022 LIVE: The AAP was leading on 122 seats, while the BJP was a close with 108. With only 5 seats, Congress is a distant third. The counting of votes is underway at 42 polling stations, and the results are expected within the next few hours. Elections to the powerful civic body were held on December 4, with a voter turnout of 50.48 percent. The election was widely billed as a three-way race between a fervent AAP, a confident BJP, and a hopeful Congress.

Both the AAP and the BJP have expressed confidence that they will win the elections, while the Congress is attempting to reclaim lost ground. Exit polls, however, predict a landslide victory for Arvind Kejriwal’s party and the end of the BJP’s 15-year reign at the civic body. The BJP, which has ruled the civic bodies since 2007, won 181 of the 270 municipal wards in the 2017 civic body elections, easily defeating the AAP and the Congress. The AAP won 48 wards, while the Congress won 30. The Centre merged the three municipal corporations in Delhi earlier this year into one MCD with 250 wards. Under the three corporations, there were a total of 272 wards.
