The result of this seat has come under scrutiny because of the ongoing protests in Shaheen Bagh which grabbed national headlines after women and children of the area came out in protest of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). The protest started on December 14 2019 and has been continuing since.


Okhla is witnessing a fight between 15 candidates - Amanatullah Khan (AAP), Awanindra Kumar Choubey (independent), Dharam Singh (BSP), Tasleem Ahmed Rehmani (Social Democratic Party of India), Musarrat Ali Khan (Rashtriya Aam Jan Seva Party), Babar Riyaz (independent), Shazia Faizan (Ambedkar National Congress), Abhay Raj (independent), Jamaluddin (independent), Ved Prakash (Awami Party), MI Ansari (Jagrook Janta Party), Devnarayan Thakur (Rashtravadi Janata Party), Parvez Hashmi (Congress), Braham Singh (BJP) and Dr Chandra Rajan Arora.
