The mayoral election in Delhi will be a direct contest between incumbent Shelly Oberoi from AAP and BJP leader Shikha Rai. The polling will be held at the Civic Centre the headquarters of the MCD.
The civic polls held on December 4 last year were the first after the three corporations were unified into the MCD and a fresh delimitation exercise was carried out, reducing the number of wards from 272 in 2012 to 250.
The Mayoral election was first scheduled for January 6, but the House was adjourned following scuffle betwee the councillors of BJP and AAP. Then a session was convened on January 24 to elect the Mayor and Deputy Mayor and members of the standing committee
