The Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) national council on Wednesday re-elected Arvind Kejriwal as the party’s national convener, the highest post in AAP, the party said in a statement. The party’s 15th national council meeting was held on Wednesday under his chairmanship and a total of 330 members participated. "During the meeting, a new 23-member national executive was constituted. Arvind Kejriwal has once again been unanimously elected as AAP’s national convener.
