Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Raja Iqbal Singh on Friday was elected as the new mayor of Delhi.
Raja Iqbal Singh secured a comfortable victory by bagging 133 votes of the 142 total votes.
While the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) boycotted the mayoral election, citing alleged defections engineered by the BJP, the Congress candidate Mandeep, got just eight votes.
One vote was declared as invalid.
In the previous mayoral polls held in November last year, AAP’s Mahesh Kumar Khinchi had won by a margin of just 3 votes.
