In a parallel development, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal filed his nomination from the New Delhi seat on Wednesday, marking the beginning of the final leg of the election preparations for all major parties, including the BJP and Congress. Kejriwal's nomination sets the stage for what promises to be a fiercely contested election on February 5, 2025.

The nomination process for the Delhi Assembly elections began on January 10, and as of January 13, 85 candidates have filed their nominations. Among the prominent figures to submit their papers are Chief Minister Atishi from Kalkaji and her challenger Alka Lamba, alongside AAP MLA Somnath Bharti from Malviya Nagar.
