Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has announced his resignation, leaving his political fate in the hands of the voters. In a surprise move, he has called for early elections in Delhi this November, ahead of the scheduled state elections in February 2025.
Kejriwal’s resignation comes after his arrest in March this year in connection with a liquor policy case. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is expected to announce the name of the new Chief Minister within the next two days.
According to 24NewsHD TV channel, Kejriwal’s decision to resign and call for early elections is seen as a strategic move to seek public validation and capitalize on his party’s current popularity.
The development has set off speculation about Kejriwal’s future plans, with some analysts suggesting that he may be eyeing a larger role in national politics.
The AAP is expected to finalize the name of the new Chief Minister shortly, with several party leaders being considered for the top post. The party has assured a smooth transition of power and vowed to continue its development agenda in Delhi.
