The Election Commission of India will announce poll schedule for 70 member Delhi assembly at 2 pm on Tuesday.
Delhi will witness a tri-angular contest between ruling AAP, BJP and Congress.
Contrary to 2019 Lok Sabha elections, AAP and Congress decided to go solo as the former opposition party wants to consolidate it’s position in the national capital.
The AAP is facing anti-incumbency over its a decade in power in Delhi, with former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal himself is facing intense scrutiny due to personal corruption charges that he is facing.
In the last 2020 elections, AAP had swept polls which had taken place on February 8, winning 62 seats. The BJP got 8 and Congress could not open it’s account.
The voter turnout last time was recorded at 62.82 percent, which was 4.66 percent less than the assembly polls held in 2015.
After the EC’s announcement of poll dates on Tuesday, the model code of conduct will come into force. The Delhi assembly’s term is due to end on February 23.
