Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is set to resign today, with Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs convening at his residence at 11:30 am to select his successor. Following the meeting, Kejriwal will formally submit his resignation to Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena at 4:30 pm. This development comes after Kejriwal's release from Tihar jail on bail. Potential contenders for the top post include Atishi, Gopal Rai, Kailash Gahlot, and Saurabh Bharadwaj. Kejriwal has called for early Delhi polls in November, ahead of the scheduled February elections. The resignation marks a significant shift in Delhi's political landscape, with the AAP preparing for the transition of power.
