Prior to the 2019 general elections, Gambhir had joined the BJP.
Notably, in Delhi, the AAP has formed an alliance with the Congress for the upcoming elections. As per the seat-sharing, the AAP will contest in four parliamentary seats and Congress in three constituencies.
The Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP has already announced the names of candidates for all the four seats. The Congress and BJP are yet to announce the names of candidates.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the Congress and AAP drew a blank.
