With the AAP and the Congress having entered a seat-sharing agreement for Delhi this time, the city is set to witness a direct contest between the alliance and the BJP which holds all the seven Lok Sabha seats of the national capital since 2014.

The AAP has already fielded its candidates for East Delhi, South Delhi, New Delhi and West Delhi seats. The Congress is yet to name its candidates for its share of the national capital's three seats -- Chandni Chowk, North East and North West.

On the other hand, the BJP has declared its candidates for all the parliamentary seats of the city. It has replaced six sitting MPs and fielded new candidates. Sitting North East Delhi MP Manoj Tiwari is the only one retained by the party to contest from the seat third time in a row.
