Former Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal announced on Monday that his party will contest the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections independently, ruling out any possibility of an alliance with the Congress. Kejriwal’s statement, made via a post on X (formerly Twitter), put an end to the ongoing speculation about a potential coalition between AAP and Congress to challenge the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the capital.
In his post, Kejriwal said, “Aam Aadmi Party will be fighting this election on its own strength in Delhi. There is no possibility of any alliance with Congress,” signaling that the party will rely solely on its performance and agenda to secure a victory in the upcoming polls.
This announcement clarifies AAP’s stance as the Delhi Assembly elections approach. The party, which has been in power in the capital since 2015, aims to secure a third consecutive term in office, building on its past successes in areas like education, healthcare, and infrastructure. The elections are scheduled to take place in February next year, and the ruling party has already released two lists of candidates.

The BJP and Congress, both key players in Delhi politics, are preparing to mount strong challenges in the elections. The BJP, which has had a significant presence in the municipal and central government in Delhi, aims to regain control of the city-state, while Congress seeks to revive its political fortunes in the region.
The upcoming election promises to be a high-stakes contest, with AAP, BJP, and Congress all vying for influence in the national capital. Kejriwal’s confirmation of AAP’s independent run underscores the party’s confidence in its ability to hold onto power in Delhi.
