In a significant shift ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections, Congress councillor Shagufta Chaudhary Zubair and her husband, Chaudhary Zubair Ahmed, officially joined the AAP on Tuesday at the party’s headquarters. The couple were welcomed by senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh.

Zubair, currently a councillor from Chauhan Banger ward in Seelampur, is expected to be a potential AAP candidate for the Seelampur Assembly seat.

While, Shagufta’s presence also boosts AAP’s position in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), where the party does not yet hold a majority.

Zubair comes from a prominent political family as he is the son of Chaudhary Mateen Ahmed, a five-time Congress MLA from Seelampur, who served the constituency from 1993 to 2015.

Previously, Zubair held the position of Congress district president of Babarpur. He announced his departure from the party in a post on X, stating, ‘I have resigned from the primary membership of the Congress as well as the post of Babarpur district president, and have sent my resignation to interim PCC chief Devender Yadav due to personal reasons.”
