The organisation, which wants to make this MCD poll from the Wazirpur ward similar on the lines of the US primaries, will back one candidate after people choose their 'lok ummedwar'.
The Abhiyan had shortlisted Sujata Gupta, Amanjyot Kaur, both related to the organisation, and social activists Pankaj Gupta and Ashok Sharma as probable candidates to contest from Wazirpur ward.
The probable candidates also debated on the issue plaguing the ward like the meance of mosquitoes in parks to parking woes in Keshavpuram area today. People also asked the candidates a range of questions on how will they try to solve their problem if they win the election.
"There will be a second round of debate of the candidates in Wazirpur village tomorrow.
"Voters can register to be a part of the voting process on 011-66977661 until 6.30 PM tomorrow. The voting process will end at 5 PM on April 22," the Swaraj Abhiyan leader added.
The organisation has also roped in services of former Chief Electoral Officer of Uttar Pradesh Noor Mohammad.
Swaraj Abhiyan is not yet a political party, but will announce its decision about this in 2-3 months.
