Arvind Kejriwal files nomination after waiting for over 6 hours

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal filed his nomination after waiting for over six hours on Tuesday, the Aam Aadmi Party said.

Kejriwal was 45th in queue to file his nomination from the New Delhi constituency from where he had registered a landslide victory in 2015.

AAP spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj said Kejriwal has filed his nomination at around 6.30 pm.

Arvind Kejriwal couldn't file his nomination yesterday due to his roadshow which delayed his reaching the election office. He later said that he will file his nomination today (Tuesday, 21 January).

Arvind Kejriwal is seeking a consecutive third term as Chief Minister. His first stint as Chief Minister lasted for only 49 days after he resigned from the post of Chief Minister citing issues in the alliance with the Congress (INC) party.
