Counting of votes is scheduled for on May 23. 
Voting in the rest of the 270 wards of the three municipal corporations was held on April 23 and results were announced on April 26.
The ward is currently held by BJP. Other main contenders in the election include Suman Sharma (BJP), Rekha Sharma (Congress) and Reshma (AAP).
The bypoll for the Sarai Pipal Thala ward in the North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) will be held on May 21.
