Alka Lamba's Performance History

Alka Lamba contested the 2020 Delhi Assembly polls from Chandni Chowk on a Congress ticket, yet lost to Aam Aadmi Party candidate Prahlad Singh Sahni, who stood second. In 2015 however, Lamba had emerged victorious from the same constituency as an AAP candidate, getting over 18,000 votes more than BJP's Suman Gupta.
