BJP candidate Sundar Singh won the last vacant seat in the Delhi Municipal Standing Committee by 115 votes. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate Nirmala Kumari did not get votes in the polls. Voting on the final standing committee took place on Friday despite strong objections from the AAP. The government chose to boycott the vote, citing disagreements over the electoral process. Additional Commissioner Jitendra Yadav supervised the election, presiding over the absence of the chief minister and deputy chief minister.
Mayor guidelines and AAP provisions
Earlier, Delhi Mayor Shelley Oberoi had urged the MCD commissioner to go ahead with the appointment of the sixth standing committee member on October 5. However, AAP decided not to participate in the process, resulting in an unopposed victory for the BJP candidate.
