Digital Desk: Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Admi Party (AAP) candidate Atishi officially filed her nomination on Tuesday for the upcoming Assembly Polls. She submitted her nomination at the District Magistrate's Office in Lajpat Nagar. She will represent the Kalkaji constituency in the upcoming polls. The Delhi Assembly election is scheduled on February 5 and Atishi will contest against BJP candidate Ramesh Bidhuri and Congress candidate Alka Lamba.
A key leader of the AAP, Atishi became the third woman Chief Minister of Delhi after Sushma Swaraj and Sheila Dikshit. She was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Delhi on September 22, 2024, and succeeded the Chief of AAP Arvind Kejriwal.
Kejriwal tendered his resignation from the post of Chief Minister on September 17, 2024, following his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for his alleged involvement in the Delhi liquor policy case. Upon his resignation, Kejriwal said that he would like to return to his post when he would be able to prove his innocence to the people of Delhi.
Atishi who became the Chief Minister of Delhi at the age of 43 held a roadshow with former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia on Monday.
Atishi defeated BJP candidate Dharambir Singh by a huge margin from the Kalkaji constituency in the 2020 Delhi Assembly Polls.
After filing the nomination, Atishi told the media, "On the occasion of Makar Sankranti today, I have filed my nomination and I hope that, just as I have received the love from the people of Kalkaji before, I will continue to receive the same in the future."
The Delhi Assembly Election is scheduled on February 5 and the counting will be held on February 8.
