Delhi Election 2025: Congress held a Central Election Committee (CEC) meeting in the capital regarding the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections. The meeting discussed candidates for 35 seats. It is reported that names have been finalised for 28 seats, while the remaining 7 are pending. Alka Lamba is reportedly being considered as the candidate for the Kalkaji seat, against Delhi's CM Atishi. This was reportedly the second CEC meeting.

Devendra Yadav's Statement

Delhi Congress President Devendra Yadav, commenting on the party's CEC meeting, said, "Many names have been finalised in today's meeting; we will release the list soon. Some seats require further discussion, which we will hold again. Youth and women are included. The gap between the rich and poor has widened significantly in the last 11 years under the Kejriwal government in Delhi and the Modi government at the centre. Therefore, our manifesto will include measures to empower the underprivileged."
