Polling was held in 270 of the 272 wards of the three municipal corporations of Delhi. The MCD election saw a voter turnout of 53.58 per cent, a shade higher than in the 2012 elections. Counting of votes will take place at 35 places in the national capital. The election to two wards has been postponed due to the death of candidates. The major contest is between Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress. While the BJP is seeking a hat-trick in the Delhi civic body polls, Congress is trying to regain its lost ground. For Arvind Kejriwal led AAP, a good performance will be a morale-booster and an affirmation of support the party received in the last assembly polls when it won 67 of the 70 seats.
In its campaign, the AAP highlighted the work done by its government in Delhi in several areas, including health, education, water and electricity distribution. AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal also promised to abolish house tax. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) was trifurcated into North, South and East Delhi Municipal Corporations in 2012. The MCD has been ruled by the BJP for the last 10 years. Catch the live updates on the MCD election results 2017 here.
