A third attempt to elect a Delhi Mayor failed last week (File)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n

The Delhi’s civic body will meet on Thursday to elect a mayor after three failed attempts amid a tussle between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the BJP.<\/p>\n

Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena this morning accepted the Aam Aadmi Party or AAP’s\u00a0proposal to hold the mayor election on February 16, officials said.<\/p>\n

The mayor could not be elected when the councilors met on January 6 and 24, and February 6 following protests by the BJP and AAP after 10 councillors nominated by the Lieutenant were allowed to vote.<\/p>\n

The Delhi Municipal Corporation Act says nominated members, or aldermen, cannot vote in house meetings.<\/p>\n

AAP has alleged the BJP is trying to capture the Municipal Corporation of Delhi by electing a BJP leader to the mayor’s post, although the AAP won far more seats than the BJP in the recent election to the civic body.<\/p>\n

Though AAP has a majority in the corporation after its big win in the December civic polls, a secret ballot and cross-voting could change the outcome.<\/p>\n

The AAP emerged as the clear winner in the MCD polls in December, winning 134 wards and ending the BJP’s 15-year rule in the civic body.<\/p>\n

The BJP won 104 wards to finish second, while the Congress won nine seats.<\/p>\n

This will be the first time in 10 years that the city will have one mayor, following the merger of three divisions of the municipal body last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
