Delhi Mayor Election 2023: AAP’s Shelly Oberoi wins unopposed after BJP Candidate withdraws nomination

Aam Aadmi Party’s Shelly Oberoi was unanimously elected mayor of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) after BJP candidate Shikha Rai withdraws her nomination. Delhi BJP spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor said that the party decided to withdraw from the election as leaders of AAP are not ready to make MCD functional by not allowing the formation of the Standing and Ward Committees despite our best efforts. Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal congratulated Oberoi. He tweeted “Congratulations Shelly and Aley on again becoming Mayor and Dy Mayor, this time unopposed. Best wishes to both. People have huge expectations from us. Work hard to meet their expectations,”.
