New Delhi: The counting of votes for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) election began at 8 am, Wednesday to decide the winner of the high-stakes civic polls where the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) face each other. The polls for 250 wards in the national capital were held on 4 December with about 50 per cent voter turnout and a total of 1,349 candidates were in the fray. The high-stakes civic polls largely seen as a three-way contest between the BJP, the AAP and the Congress. Exit polls have predicted that AAP is poised for a big victory in the municipal polls, with BJP coming in a distant second. The Congress will get only a handful of seats. For the counting, the Commission has set up 42 counting centres across the city. 68 Election Observers have already been deployed by the Commission under whose supervision the counting of votes shall be carried out by the Returning Officers in the presence of candidates or their representatives. Further, the Commission has also deployed 136 engineers from Electronics Corporation of India Limited (ECIL) at these counting centres to attend to any technical issues regarding the EVMs which may arise during the counting of votes. Special Media Rooms to facilitate viewing of live results on the Commission’s web portal on the LED screens at these 42 counting centres. These centres will be under multi-layered security and entry of persons authorized by the Commission shall only be allowed by the security personnel deployed at these centres. Though mobile phone use has been allowed inside these centres, the same is restricted to the designated areas only as per instructions of RO/SEC. A Media Centre has also been set up at SEC (HQ) at Nigam Bhawan, Kashmere Gate for the Media personnel to view live results of the elections starting from 8 am onwards. Delhi had witnessed high-decibel campaigning by AAP and BJP which made top leaders, including Union ministers, chief ministers of BJP-ruled states and MPs hit the streets for door-to-door campaigning and meetings to garner public support. The BJP, which has governed the civic body in Delhi since 2007, is looking to maintain its winning streak. However, the exit polls, which came a day after the polling for MCD elections, predicted that AAP led by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will now also rule the municipal corporation of the national capital for the first time. The polls predicted that BJP, which has won three successive civic elections in the national capital, will be ousted from power in the first election since the re-unification of the municipal corporations. The exit polls also predicted a poor performance by Congress and indicated that the party has failed to revive itself in the national capital. This was the first civic election after the fresh delimitation exercise. There were 272 wards in Delhi and three corporations – NDMC, SDMC, and EDMC in Delhi from 2012-2022 that later reunified into an MCD that had formally come into existence on 22 May.
