Delhi Elections 2020: Arvind Kejriwal fails to file his nomination

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, on Monday failed to file his nomination after being delayed by a roadshow.
The AAP national convenor held a party roadshow with his family and senior party colleagues and supporters in tow. He paid obeisance at the Valmiki Mandir in New Delhi before hopping on to an open vehicle for the roadshow, which wound its way to Connaught Place Inner Circle in central Delhi via Panchkuian Marg.

As the crowd grew, his roadshow from Valmiki Mandir near Gole Market to Patel Chowk metro station caused huge traffic jams near Connaught Place and Panchkuian Road. Kejriwal is seeking re-election from the seat for the third time — having won in 2013 and 2015 with a vote percentage of 53.46 and 64.34 respectively. Interestingly, ahead of the 2015 elections, Kejriwal had filed his nomination on the same date, January 20 that year. The Delhi Assembly polls will be held on February 8 and counting of votes will take place on February 11. January 21 is the last date for filing of nominations.
