Attaching the list of candidates, the party's Delhi unit president Anil Chaudhary said on Twitter, "I am pleased to announce the approved list of Congress candidates for MCD Election 2022. Best wishes to all warriors."

The counting will be done by the areas' returning officers. The counting of votes will take place on December 7. 

A massive rush is expected at the offices of returning officers on Monday, as a big number of candidates from the national capital's three major parties — the AAP, BJP, and Congress — will file their nominations on the last day, news agency PTI reported.
