In the 2015 Delhi assembly election, Karawal Nagar seat was won by Aam Aadmi Party candidate Kapil Mishra.
Karawal Nagar is one of the assembly constituency and is a part of the North East Delhi Lok Sabha constituency. There are about 2.43 lakh voters in this constituency.
In the 2015 Delhi assembly election, Karawal Nagar seat was won by Aam Aadmi Party candidate Kapil Mishra. He won this seat by over 44,000 votes against sitting BJP MLA Mohan Bisht while Congress candidate Satan Pal Dayma only received 5,362 votes or 3.15% of total votes polled.
Earlier, Bisht won the seat in 1998 and 2003 and retained the seat after delimitation exercise that brought major boundary changes in 2008.
Mishra had levelled corruption allegations against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal after he was removed from the Cabinet. He was suspended from the party in May 2017 and since then has been openly critical of the party, though he remained an MLA till he was disqualified in May 2017.
In 2020, the AAP had fielded Durgesh Pathak from Karawal Nagar while the BJP has reposed its faith in Mohan Singh Bisht. The Congress had fielded Arbind Singh from here.
The AAP had dropped 15 sitting MLAs from its list of 70 candidates and gave tickets to 24 first-timers, including Pathak.
Pathak, the youngest member of the AAP's highest decision-making body, was contesting his first election.
