The saffron party has fielded six fresh candidates this time around; the only one who was carried over from the last 2019 national elections was Manoj Tiwari, who is currently a three-term MP from the North East Delhi constituency.

Chandni Chowk, East Delhi, New Delhi, North East Delhi, North West Delhi, West Delhi, and South Delhi are the seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi.

The competitors
The BJP also proposed Praveen Khandelwal, Harsh Malhotra, Bansuri Swaraj, Yogender Chandoliya, Kamaljeet Sehrawat, Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, and North East Delhi MP Tiwari. Reps. Dr. Harsh Vardhan, Gautam Gambhir, Meenakshi Lekhi, Hans Raj Hans, Parvesh Verma, and Ramesh Bidhuri were succeeded by them in that order.

The AAP-Congress coalition faced opposition from the party. The Congress nominated three candidates, compared to the AAP’s four.
