Mateen Ahmed Joins AAP Ahead of Crucial Polls
In a significant shift, Mateen Ahmed, a well-known Congress leader in Delhi, joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) ahead of the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections. Ahmed, who has represented the Seelampur constituency multiple times, announced his decision to align with AAP, citing a strong resonance with the party’s vision and its focus on developmental politics. His entry adds weight to AAP’s campaign and further weakens Congress’s position in Delhi, where the party has struggled to regain its foothold in recent years.
Impact on Congress and AAP’s Election Strategy
Ahmed’s shift to AAP is expected to shake up the political landscape in Delhi, especially in constituencies with high Congress influence. Known for his grassroots connections, his move may lead to more Congress supporters switching allegiance. AAP, led by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, is now better positioned to counter opposition forces, aiming for a decisive victory in 2025. The move showcases AAP’s strategy of attracting prominent leaders from rival camps to expand its support base.
