The Delhi mayoral elections, scheduled for April 26, have been postponed due to the non-appointment of a presiding officer. MCD Mayor Dr. Shelly Oberoi and AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj highlighted the delay in the appointment by the Lieutenant Governor's office. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) stated that the nomination of the presiding officer is mandatory as per Section 77(a) of the DMC Act, 1957. This has led to a postponement of the elections for both the Mayor and Deputy Mayor positions. AAP has alleged that a BJP conspiracy is behind the postponement.
