MCD zonal ward committee elections 2024: The Municipal Corporation of Delhi’s (MCD) ward committee elections are taking place today (September 4). The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have already won three MCD Zones- City SP and Karol Bagh- unopposed with BJP not filing nominations as they fell short of the minimum number of elected councillors required. It also won the Rohini Zone with 14 votes. Meanwhile, the BJP also won the Keshavpuram, Shahdara South and Nazafgarh MCD Zones unopposed as well.

Security has been beefed in and around the Civic Centre in the national capital with authorities anticipating a face-off between workers of the opposition BJP and the ruling AAP during the MCD's ward committee polls on Wednesday.

Paramilitary personnel deployed 

A company of paramilitary personnel along with the Delhi Police personnel has been deployed in and around the Civic Centre in central Delhi. The personnel have been instructed to prevent any untoward incident during the election process, a senior police officer said.

Mayor Shelly Oberoi raises objection on election 

Mayor Shelly Oberoi raised objection on the election of the MCD zone committee and standing committee members. The mayor questioned and rejected the decision of the commissioner to make the deputy commissioner the presiding officer for the ward committee elections.

The mayor issued an order saying that the deputy commissioner is not the presiding officer. Therefore, he does not have to conduct any election.

Delhi LG on MCD ward elections 

Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena late on Tuesday asked the MCD commissioner to notify the appointment of deputy commissioners as presiding officers for MCD ward committee polls after Mayor Shelly Oberoi did not do so.

The last-minute intervention by the LG using special powers granted under the DMC Act, and in the larger public interest, ends uncertainty over the polls that are taking place today. Earlier on Tuesday (September 3), Oberoi refused to appoint presiding officers, saying her conscience does not allow her to participate in an undemocratic election process. She had also directed MCD commissioner Ashwani Kumar to restart the election process and give at least one week time for filing the nomination.
