Lok Sabha Elections 2024: AAP Likely To Contest On Four Seats In Delhi, Congress On Three As Seat-Sharing Deal Finalised

After several rounds of meetings, Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have reportedly finalised their seat-sharing agreement for upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Delhi.

The two parties have settled for a four-three seat-sharing formula for the seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi, with AAP contesting four constituencies and Congress on three, Indian Express reported citing sources.

“Yes, the seat-sharing agreement for Delhi has been reached between both parties; we will disclose which seat will be contested by a candidate from which party shortly,” a senior AAP leader was quoted as saying by IE.

This comes after the Congress and Samajwadi Party on Wednesday (21 February) announced seat-sharing alliance for the Lok Sabha polls in Uttar Pradesh.

Apart from RaeBareli and Amethi, the Congress will field candidates from Kanpur Nagar, Fatehpur Sikri, Basgaon, Saharanpur, Prayagraj, Maharajganj, Amroha, Jhansi, Bulandshahar, Ghaziabad, Mathura, Sitapur, Barabanki, and Deoria.

Further, the party will also contest from Varanasi, which is the constituency of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Earlier on Wednesday, while asserting that “all is well that ends well,” Akhilesh Yadav had said that an alliance with the Congress will happen in Uttar Pradesh for the Lok Sabha elections.

Speaking to reporters, Akhilesh said, “All is well that ends well… Yes, there will be an alliance. There is no conflict. Everything will be out and clear soon… All is well that ends well…”.
