The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won seven out of the 12 wards, while the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) secured three and the Congress and the Left opened their account with one seat each in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) bypolls, the results of which were declared today.

The bypolls, held on November 30 after 11 councillors were elected to the Delhi Assembly and one to the Lok Sabha, witnessed a voter turnout of 38.51 per cent, much lower than the 50.47 per cent recorded in the 2022 MCD elections for 250 wards.

Though the BJP held nine of the 12 wards before the bypolls, the party failed to hold on to all of them, losing Sangam Vihar and Naraina, both located in Assembly constituencies represented by BJP MLAs. However, the AAP managed to retain all three seats.
