Notably, the BJP has governed the civic bodies since 2007.

In the civic body polls in 2017, the BJP won 181 of the 270 wards. No polling could be held on two seats due to the death of candidates. The AAP had won 48 wards, while the Congress managed to win 27.

The counting of votes will be done on December 7.
