The Delhi Assembly was today dissolved, paving the way for fresh elections that will end the political hibernation since the AAP Government fell in February.
A notification issued by the Home Ministry said President Pranab Mukherjee has dissolved the ‘Legislative Assembly of the National Capital Territory of Delhi with immediate effect’ on November 4.
The Union Cabinet had yesterday recommended the dissolution of the Assembly following the recommendation of LG Najeeb Jung after talks on Monday with the BJP, Congress and AAP, who expressed their inability to form a Government and sought a fresh mandate.
While fresh elections may be held early next year, the process for the November 25 by-elections to three constituencies, for which the last date for nominations is today, was revoked by the Election Commission today.
