The Civic Centre hosted the election of Delhi's new deputy mayor.

Iqbal's victory came just hours after Shelly Oberoi of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) defeated the BJP's Rekha Gupta in the mayoral polls.

The Delhi civic body made its fourth effort today to elect a mayor and deputy mayor. The previous three elections were called off due to a quarrel about voting rights for nominated members.
