How the parties fared in 2017. Bear in mind, there were were 272 seats then (voting in 2 seats were deferred). It's 250 seats now. Gfx c'tsy TOI
From three to one
The erstwhile MCD, established in 1958, was trifurcated in 2012 during Sheila Dikshit's tenure as chief minister. Between 2012 and 2022, Delhi had 272 wards and three corporations -- North Delhi, South Delhi and East Delhi municipal corporations. These three civic bodies were reunified into the Municipal Corporation of Delhi which came into existence on May 22.
What happened in 2017
In the 2017 civic election, the BJP won 181 of the 270 wards. Polling could not be held on two seats due to the death of candidates. The AAP had won 48 wards and the Congress 27. The voting percentage that year was around 53 per cent.
AAP, BJP or Congress?
While the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party is looking to wrest power from the BJP, the saffron party is eying its fourth consecutive term at the civic body. The Congress, which has suffered a back-to-back drubbing in the national capital since 2015 in parliamentary, assembly and municipal corporations polls, is looking to redeem itself with a notable performance this time.
Poll battle for 250 wards
Delhi on Sunday voted in high-stakes civic election for 250 municipal wards of the national capital. The election is largely been seen as a three-way contest involving the AAP, BJP and Congress. Polling began at 8 am on Monday and it will continue till 5.30 pm and the counting of votes is on December 7.
