Ajit Pawar’s NCP to contest Delhi Election 2025. Will it help party reclaim national party tag?

Live Mint  

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar's party, the Nationalist Congress Party, released its first list of 11 candidates for the 2025 Delhi assembly polls on Saturday. NCP chief Ajit Pawar and other party leaders have been emphasising regaining the national party status after the Lok Sabha 2024 debacle. According to the Election Symbols Order, 1968, a party that secures at least six per cent of the total votes in Lok Sabha elections or Assembly elections in four States and wins at least four seats in the Lok Sabha is recognised as a national party. At the last general election to the House of the People, the party has won at least two per cent of the total number of seats in the House of the People, any fraction exceeding half being counted as one; and the party's candidates have been elected to that House from not less than three States; or 2. At the last general election to the Lok Sabha from that State, the candidates of the party have secured not less than six per cent of the total valid votes polled in the State; and, in addition, the party has returned at least one member to the House of the People from that State at such general election; or 3.
