The BJP won a clear majority in all 3 corporation elections -
- 64 out of 104 wards under North MCD
- 70 out of 104 wards under the South MCD.
- 47 out of 64 under the East MCD
BJP won 184 seats in total but, all five Muslim candidates fielded by the party were defeated.
BJP gave tickets to Kuwar Rafi from Zakir Nagar, Sartaj Ahmed from Chauhan Banger, Sabra Malik from Mustafabad, Fahimuddin Saifi from Delhi Gate and Rubina Begum from Quraish Nagar. However, none of them was able to emerge victorious in the election.
The winners from these constituencies were all Muslim candidates themselves. Shoab Danish (Congress) from Zakir Nagar, Abdul Rehman (AAP) from Chauhan Banger, Shakila Begum (AAP) from Mustafabad, Aaley Mohammaed Iqbal (Congress) from Delhi Gate and Shaheen (AAP) from Quraish Nagar.
The results are a huge setback to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal , who is struggling to retain the appeal of the five-year-old party that came to power in Delhi by a sweeping majority in the 2015 Assembly elections.
