New Delhi: Former Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal will face the assembly elections scheduled in February. The Aam Aadmi party on Sunday released its final list of 38 candidates confirming the party supremo's candidacy. Kejriwal will contest from the New Delhi constituency, while incumbent Chief Minister Atishi will be fielded again from Kalkaji.

In its bid for a third consecutive term in power in the national capital, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has nominated its senior leaders from their own constituencies.

In the 2020 election, the AAP had secured 62 of the 70 seats in Delhi, solidifying its dominance in the capital's politics.
