MCD Standing Committee Elections Set for September 26

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) will hold Standing Committee elections on September 26. This election aims to fill the vacancy left by BJP councillor Kamaljeet Sehrawat's move to the Lok Sabha. The Standing Committee, crucial for MCD operations, will later elect its chairman and vice-chairman.

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) Standing Committee elections are scheduled for September 26, as revealed by civic body officials. The elections will be convened during an MCD House meeting on the same date.

During this session, a member will be elected to the Standing Committee to fill the vacancy caused by BJP councillor Kamaljeet Sehrawat's election as an MP in the Lok Sabha elections. Following this, the process to elect the chairman and vice-chairman of the Standing Committee is anticipated to begin in October.

These leadership positions wield substantial influence over MCD operations, including fund allocation and overseeing development projects. In the recent 18-member Standing Committee elections, the BJP secured seven seats, strengthening its position. The remaining six seats were split equally between the BJP and AAP in last year's election.
