There are briefly
details about the MCD (Municipal Corporations of Delhi) Election -2017
The Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) is likely to retain the Capital’s of three municipal corporations, exit polls predicted after Sunday’s(23.04.2017) vote that registered a turnout of 53.6% — a notch higher than the city’s 2012 civic elections.
The votes will be counted on April 26 (Wednesday), but the outcome is billed to have a wider impact on the city’s politics, rather than merely being restricted to which party captures power at the Civic Centre, the municipal headquarters at Delhi.
After more than half of the city’s 13.2 million voters cast their vote, pollsters predicted a BJP (Bharatiya Janta Party ) win and a neck-and-neck fight between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Congress for the second spot.
Chief minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal’s party made all efforts to unseat the BJP, which have been ruling the east, north and south municipal corporations for the past decade.
But the AAP, ruling Delhi after winning 67 of the 70 assembly seats in the 2015 state elections, faced setbacks ahead of the high-stakes municipal polls.
For the Congress — out of power at the Centre, city and its civic agencies — the polls were a platform to restore its political relevance in its former stronghold.
Voting for all but two of the 272 seats were held across the three corporations. Election was cancelled in Maujpur ward in the east and Sarai Pipal Thala in the north because of the death of a candidate in each. Bypolls will be held in May, state election commission officials said.
Of the three corporations, the east recorded the highest turnout of 55%, followed by the north’s 54% and the south’s 50%.
“We were targeting a turnout of 60%. We made all efforts to encourage the voters, but the heat seems to have pulled down the numbers. But even 54% is a good turnout,” state election commissioner SK Srivastava said.
The briefly details of Exit poll Result are as follows:-
Exit polls predicted a huge BJP majority.
An exit poll by Aaj Tak and India Today TV called the election for BJP (Bharatiya Janta Party). The India Today exit poll predicted about 80 seats for BJP in North and South corporations and 50 seats in East corporation. The AAP (Aam Aadmi Party) is predicted to be far behind in the second place in all three corporations, according to the poll, just ahead of the Congress.
