In a landslide win, AAP on Wednesday securꦡed the majority in Delhi’s MCD elections with Bobby Kinner becoming the first-ever transgender councillor of the national capital.

AAP's Bobby Kinner won the civic polls from Sultanpuri-A ward after defeating Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Ekta Jatav and Congress' Varuna Dhaka.
 
Bobby (38) was given a ticket from Sultanpurꦆi A (ward ꦇ43) seat. She has been associated with AAP since the Anna Hazare movement OF 2011 and later when the party was formed.

Bobby is not a new face in politics. In 2017, she ran as an independent candidate but the AAP’s Sa🐽njeev Kumar w🃏on the seat that year.

According to media reports, Bobbꦯy could not complete her education after class XII due to personal reasons. However, sinc⛄e she was young, she has been involved in social work to uplift her community. 

At the age of 14-15, Bobb﷽y was taken by t♋he transgender community and then she became a wedding dancer. From there their journey to politics was through social work.

Ini🍎tially, the AAP candidate focused on working for her own comm𝕴unity but later realised it was essential to join politics to represent her community and give it a voice in society.

She is also the presidentಞ of the Delhi unit of the Hindu Yuva Samaj Ekta Awam Anti-Terrorism Committee.

She also runs a primary꧂ school in her area for children.
