AAP in a statement said the national council of the party met on Saturday and elected the new national executive. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Kejriwal. At this meeting, 34 new national executive members were elected. The executive members include Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Satyendar Jain, Imran Hussain, Rajendra Pal Gautam, Raghav Chadha, Atishi, Rakhi Birla among others.
