After its recent victory in the Delhi MCD elections, the Aam Aadmi Party is now gearing up for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The party has called a meeting of its National Council on Sunday, December 18, to discuss the matter.
The meeting will be attended by representatives from across the country and state leaders on strategy for the 2024 general elections. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the party had won only one seat. The winning candidate was Bhagwant Mann from Sangrur, Punjab.
In the recently concluded assembly elections in Gujarat and Himachal, AAP managed to hit the streets in the former, while it could not open an account in the hill state. The party won 5 seats in Gujarat.
It also took control of the MCD from the BJP, which ruled the civic body for 15 years. AAP won 134 wards while BJP got 104.

The Aam Aadmi Party crossed the halfway mark in the Delhi Municipal Corporation elections on Wednesday, securing a majority, thus uprooting the 15-year rule of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the city’s civic body.
