MCD Elections 2025: BJP's Raja Iqbal Singh becomes new mayor of Delhi

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) reclaimed power in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) after a gap of almost two years, after Raja Raja Iqbal Singh became the new mayor of the national capital on Friday (April 25). Raja Iqbal received 133 votes. Congress’s Mandeep Singh got 8 votes. One vote was declared invalid. A total of 142 votes were cast. With the AAP boycotting the election and the Congress reduced to a marginal presence, the BJP comfortably swept the civic posts, solidifying its control over Delhi through the Centre.
