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.
In the first municipal election held after the merger of the MCD and redrawing of constituencies last year, the AAP won 134 of 250 wards. The BJP came in second place with 104 seats.
