Arvind Kejriwal has announced his impending resignation as Chief Minister of Delhi amid corruption allegations. He plans to return to office only after a public verdict, leaving many to wonder who from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will step up as his successor. With assembly elections set for February next year, although Kejriwal is pushing for a November timeline alongside Maharashtra’s polls, AAP’s senior leadership appears to be stepping back from the race for the Chief Minister position, instead opting to focus on re-earning voter trust.
Several key contenders are in the spotlight for the interim role. Among them are Delhi Minister Atishi, known for her significant contributions to education and public works; Saurabh Bharadwaj, a three-time MLA who handles vigilance and health; Raghav Chadha, a prominent Rajya Sabha MP; Kailash Gahlot, responsible for transport and finance; and Sanjay Singh, a Rajya Sabha MP and founding member of the party. Each candidate brings unique strengths and political experience, but the decision will hinge on who can best articulate AAP’s stance on pressing issues during this transitional period.
