The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) ward committee elections commenced on September 4, 2024, after a prolonged political deadlock between the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). AAP secured victories in the Karol Bagh, City SP, and Rohini zones, with multiple wins being unopposed due to the BJP's failure to file nominations. Meanwhile, BJP won the Keshavpuram zone unopposed. The elections faced last-minute complications, but the Lieutenant Governor intervened to appoint deputy commissioners as presiding officers after Mayor Shelly Oberoi declined to do so. Enhanced security measures were implemented around the Civic Centre to prevent potential clashes between party workers. These elections mark the first since the MCD's unification in 2022, following a Supreme Court ruling that cleared the path for the polls after a 19-month delay.
