In yet another victory for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Mohammad Iqbal was elected as the new deputy mayor of Delhi on Wednesday.

“Aaley Mohammad Iqbal has been elected as the Aam Aadmi Party’s Deputy Mayor for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. BJP, the Central Government, and even the L-G all went against the constitution and attempted to stop it, but the people of Delhi succeeded “Manish Sisodia, deputy chief minister of Delhi, tweeted.
The election of Delhi’s next deputy mayor took place at the Civic Centre.

Iqbal was elected just hours after Shelly Oberoi of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) defeated Rekha Gupta of the BJP in the mayoral poll.
