Aam Aadmi Party was recognized as a state party and its symbol of broom was reserved by the election commission on the basis of its performance in the Delhi assembly polls.
The election symbol of “broom” will now be reserved for AAP in Delhi. Elsewhere in the country, its candidates will also get the benefit of contesting under the “broom” symbol.
The recognition to AAP, which is in the process of deciding on whether to form its government in Delhi with Congress support, came after it fulfilled the laid criterion in this regard.
A party may be recognized by the election commission if it wins at least 3% seats, subject to a minimum of three seats and at least 6% of total valid votes. AAP has outperformed on this criterion in Delhi assembly polls where it won 28 seats in the 70-member House and took over 25 per cent vote share.
