On October 28, Mayor Shelly Oberoi had postponed the meeting of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) and announced the mayoral election in November. This election has been pending since April, and opposition councillors raised the demand for mayoral elections several times during this period. In the last meeting too, there was an uproar in the House due to the late appearance of the mayor. The councillors had raised slogans over issues like pollution in Delhi and delay in mayoral elections, which disrupted the proceedings.

Mayor Shelly Oberoi had assured the opposition members during the meeting that elections would be held in the next meeting. But when the uproar continued, she adjourned the House after passing some resolutions.

Reserved seat for the third term and delay in election

The election for the post of mayor in Delhi is reserved for a Dalit candidate this time, which is the third term this year. This election has been pending for a long time, and due to this, a situation of uproar arose in the corporation several times. All eyes are on the mayoral election this time too, as many political parties are ready with their candidates.

Long-postponed elections and political obstacles

The election for the post of Mayor of Delhi Municipal Corporation has been postponed several times in 2024. Even during the earlier election attempts, the election could not be successful due to uproar and controversies. This time the mayoral election will be organized with special security and arrangements so that the election can be conducted peacefully by learning from the previous uproars.

What does this election say for the political scenario of Delhi?

This election to be held on November 14 is also expected to change the political atmosphere of Delhi, as this time a very tough competition is being seen between the ruling party and the opposition in the corporation.
