The AAP’s Rajya Sabha nominees in Delhi—Sanjay Singh, N D Gupta and Swati Maliwal—have been elected unopposed, officials said on Friday.
No candidate from any other party filed a nomination for the elections.
“All three Rajya Sabha nominees have been elected unopposed, and certificates have also been issued today,” a senior official in the Delhi Chief Electoral Officer’s (CEO) office said.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal congratulated the newly elected MPs of the party.
“Many congratulations and best wishes to the three leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party elected to the Rajya Sabha.
I am confident that you will strongly raise the issues of the common people in Parliament and fight for the rights of the people of Delhi,” Kejriwal, who is also the AAP national convener, said in a post on X in Hindi.
Outside the Delhi Transport Department’s office in Civil Lines here, scores of AAP supporters had gathered to cheer for Gupta, Maliwal, and Anita Singh, the wife of Sanjay Singh. All three of them, carrying certificates, also posed for pictures for the media.
The AAP had nominated Maliwal as its Rajya Sabha candidate and renominated Singh and Gupta for a second term in the Upper House of Parliament.
