Ending the political hibernation since the AAP government fell in February, the President dissolved Delhi Assembly, paving way for fresh mandate

 

The Delhi Assembly was on Wednesday dissolved, paving the way for fresh elections that will end the political hibernation since the Aam Admi Party (AAP) government led by Arvind Kejriwal fell in February.

 

A notification issued by the Home Ministry said President Pranab Mukherjee has dissolved the ‘Legislative Assembly of the National Capital Territory of Delhi with immediate effect’ on 4th November.

 

The Union Cabinet had Wednesday recommended dissolution of the Assembly following recommendation of LG Najeeb Jung after talks on Monday with the BJP, Congress and AAP, who expressed their inability to form a Government and sought a fresh mandate.

 

While fresh elections may be held early next year, the process for the 25th November by-elections to three constituencies, for which the last date for nominations is today, was revoked by the Election Commission Wednesday.
