AAP, BJP Get 3 Seats Each In Delhi's Top Civic Body Panel

A fourth AAP candidate, who would have given the party a clear edge over the opposition BJP, had to face defeat.

Delhi's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will have to share the powerful standing committee of the capital's municipal corporation with the opposition BJP.

The long-awaited election results for the top decision-making panel of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) have finally been announced, following a legal challenge and subsequent ruling by the Delhi High Court.

The election, originally held on February 24, resulted in a 3-3 split of seats between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and BJP.

The MCD standing committee has 18 members. Six are elected from the house, and each of the civic body's 12 zones sends one representative.
