Ariba Khan Archives

Congress Names Ariba Khan as Candidate from Okhla Congress has confirmed Ariba Khan as its candidate for the Okhla constituency in the upcoming assembly elections. Ariba, currently a ward councilor, is the daughter of former Congress MLA Asif Mohammad Khan and the niece of Bihar Governor Arif Mohammad Khan. The announcement has intensified the political atmosphere in Okhla. Sources revealed that journalists gathered outside Asif Mohammad Khan’s Kalindi Kunj residence as the family held a meeting following the news. Both Ariba and her father have remained tight-lipped, awaiting an official announcement before celebrating. A New Face with Deep Political Roots Ariba Khan’s entry into the electoral race marks a significant milestone in her political career. Introduced to politics by her father, she currently represents the Abul Fazal Enclave ward as a Councillor. Her nomination indicates Congress’s strategy to reclaim its influence in Okhla, a seat it once held for multiple terms. Political observers believe Ariba’s candidacy poses a formidable challenge to AAP’s Amanatullah Khan, who is seeking his third consecutive term from the constituency. A Tough Contest in Okhla The Okhla constituency is poised for a high-stakes contest. AAP’s Amanatullah Khan, a dominant figure in the area, has won the seat twice. In 2020, he secured a resounding victory with 130,367 votes, despite facing allegations and anti-incumbency sentiments. The BJP has fielded Manish Chaudhary, whose family has ties with the Jamiat, while Asaduddin Owaisi’s AIMIM has announced Shafa-ur-Rehman, who faces accusations in the Delhi riots case.

Ariba Khan’s candidacy could reshape the political equation in Okhla. Her family’s legacy and strong grassroots connections, especially among voters from Western Uttar Pradesh, give her a solid base. Political analysts predict that the contest will be closely watched, as Ariba aims to avenge her father’s defeat in 2015. Congress insiders are hopeful that Ariba’s fresh face and her family’s reputation will help the party regain its foothold in Okhla. As the battle lines are drawn, all eyes are now on Ariba Khan and her campaign strategy. Will she succeed in reclaiming Okhla for Congress, or will Amanatullah Khan continue his winning streak? The stage is set for a fierce political showdown. for more updates follow ANN MEDIA on facebook , X , Instagram and Linkedin
