“National convener and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has taken a final call out of the shortlisted aspirants. Kejriwal will campaign vigorously in Adampur in the next few days as the AAP wants to make its presence felt in the by-election,” a party functionary stated.

Satender had contested the 2014 Assembly election from Adampur on a Congress ticket. Later, he left the Congress to join the BJP. However, he had recently switched over to the AAP.

Satender is known as a confidant of AAP leader Ashok Tanwar who had been the Congress state president during the 2014 Assembly poll.
