Aam Aadmi Party on Sunday released its fourth and final list of candidates for the upcoming Delhi elections nominating 38 candidates inlcuding bigwigs Arvind Kejriwal, Atishi, Gopal Rai, Saurabh Bharadwaj, and Amanatullah Khan.
The party supremo will contest the polls from New Delhi constituency while Delhi Chief Minister Atishi has been nominated from her current assembly constituency, Kalkaji. Ministers in Delhi cabinet Saurabh Bharadwaj and Gopal Rai have been given tickets from Greater Kailash and Babarpur seats respectively.
Other senior leaders included in the list are Durgesh Pathak (Rajinder Nagar), Somnath Bharti (Malviya Nagar), Satyendar Jain (Shakur Basti), Imran Hussain (Ballimaran), and Amanatullah Khan (Okhla).
The elections to the 70-member Delhi Legislative Assembly is scheduled to be held in February next year.
On Saturday, the party announced social worker Tarun Yadav's candidature from Najafgarh constituency while his wife Meena Yadav - who has served as an independent councillor for two terms - joined the party.
Earlier this week, the party released the second list of candidates nominating new entrant Avadh Ojha, a renowned educator, from the Patparganj seat.
Former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who has represented the seat for three consecutive times has been moved to Jangpura seat.
The decision to shift base for Sisodia was made based on internal surveys by the party that flagged Patparganj's seat as less favourable to him, partly due to his narrow victory margin in the last election and his prolonged detention in the new liquor policy case.
Last week, AAP released its first list of candidates giving tickets to six turncoats among 11 candidates.
Speaking on the party's strategy, Kejriwal said earlier this week that his party will not contest the polls in alliance with Congress.
“Aam Aadmi Party will be fighting this election on its own strength in Delhi. There is no possibility of any alliance with Congress.”
The Aam Aadmi Party is seeking to hold its fort in the upcoming Delhi elections for a third term. In the 2020 elections, AAP sweeped 62 seats cementing its dominance in the national capital's politics.
