The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday (November 9) announced its list of candidates for the bypolls to the 12 wards of the Delhi Municipal Corporation, a day ahead of the conclusion of nomination submission. The list was approved by Delhi unit president Saurabh Bharadwaj.

The polls are likely to see a keen contest between the AAP and the BJP. While it serves as an opportunity for AAP to regain lost ground in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, the BJP will look to further strengthen its tally in the 250-member civic body.
