After the elections of the zone committees held today in Delhi, the way for the election of the standing committee has been cleared, but the election of the chairman and vice chairman of this committee, which is considered the most powerful of the Municipal Corporation, will be held only when one member is elected from the House for the standing committee. 12 members of the 18-member standing committee are elected from all 12 zones, while 6 members are elected from the House.
Let us tell you that last year 6 standing committee members were elected in the House, but after the then councillor Kamaljeet Sehrawat was elected as MP and resigned from the corporation, the position of one member of the standing committee has become vacant. That is, the election of the chairman and vice chairman of the committee will take place only after the election of a member for the standing committee.

BJP registered victory in seven zones
In the elections of 12 zones of Delhi Municipal Corporation, BJP won 7 zones while Aam Aadmi Party won only 5 zones. There was no difference in the election results because five councilors of AAP joined BJP on 25 August. This gave BJP an edge in Central and Narela zones (2 zones).
First the alderman and then the BJP took the lead by including 4 councillors of AAP. LG had nominated 10 members of BJP as councillors in three zones. After that, the lead was already achieved in the Civil Lines zone.
