AAP workers welcome Shelly after winning the mayoral election.
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) mayoral election will be held on April 26. AAP Aadmi Party leader Saurabh Bhardwaj told that Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi has fixed this date for the election.
The municipal elections in Delhi were held on 4 December and the results were declared on 7 December. Aam Aadmi Party won 134 out of 250 seats. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Shaili Oberoi was elected mayor on 22 February. He completed his 38-day term as mayor on 31 March.

AAP leader Saurabh Bhardwaj announcing the date of mayoral election
Saurabh said, I am hopeful that if the LG office follows all the rules, the elections will be held in a peaceful manner. Bhardwaj also attacked Delhi LG Vinay Kumar Saxena and said, it was very unfortunate that the LG nominated a presiding officer for the mayoral election who created hurdles in the election. He also tried to allow nominated members (aldermen) to vote against the constitution, for which he was reprimanded by the Supreme Court. The court said that this was wrong.
The party high command will decide on the mayor’s candidate.
Bhardwaj also suggested that the deputy mayor could be made the pro tem presiding officer, who could conduct the election of the mayor. He said, the matter related to the election of the members of the standing committee is pending in the court. I have no idea about the party’s candidate for the post of Mayor and the final decision on this will be taken by the party high command.
Shelly was mayor for 38 days
Shelly Oberoi, who won the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) elections by 34 votes, held the post of Mayor for only 38 days. Actually, according to section two (67) of the MCD, the year of the corporation starts from the first day of April, which will end on March 31 next year.
