Narela delhi assembly election candidate names

One of the most famous assembly constituencies in the North West Parliamentary constituency of Delhi, Narela has 240811 voters including 134027 men and 106767 women besides 17 third gender voters. In 2015 general elections, AAP’s candidate Sharad Kumar captured this seat by securing 96143 votes and overtaking the BJP contestant Neel Daman Khatri who secured 55851 votes.

For 2020 elections, Narela has been declared as a general seat open to any candidate. In the 2013 elections, Neel Daman Khatri of BJP held this seat and before him, the MLA from this constituency who won in 2008 assembly elections was INC’s Jaswant Singh. The runner ups during both these elections were BSP’s Virender and Sharad Kumar respectively. For three assembly elections from 1993 to 2003, the Narela assembly constituency was reserved for SC candidates and since 2008, it has been a general seat.

INC had been holding this seat since 1998 elections before BJP claimed it from them during the 2013 assembly elections. From 1988 to 2008, this Vidhan Sabha seat was held by INC’s Charan Singh Kandera who remained in his office for two consecutive terms. The vote share of 96143 scored by AAP’s Sharad Kumar during the last assembly elections was the highest the constituency has ever seen while no other candidate could cross 56,000 votes before he set this record. Notably, this was the first time an AAP candidate won from this seat and went to the Vidhan Sabha with such overwhelming support from the voters.
