Delhi remained thereafter under President's Rule for about a year. On 4 November 2014, the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi Najeeb Jung made a recommendation to the Union Cabinet to dissolve the Delhi Legislative Assembly and conduct fresh elections.http://www.outlookindia.com/news/article/President-Dissolves-Delhi-Assembly-Fresh-Polls-in-2015/866611 https://web.archive.org/web/20141105114016/http://www.outlookindia.com/news/article/President-Dissolves-Delhi-Assembly-Fresh-Polls-in-2015/866611 dead 5 November 2014 President Dissolves Delhi Assembly, Fresh Polls in 2015 Outlook 5 November 2014http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/Delhi-assembly-dissolved-bypolls-cancelled/articleshow/45044352.cms Delhi assembly dissolved, by-polls cancelled The Times of India The Times Group 5 November 2014 7 December 2014 On 12 January 2015, the Election Commission of India announced that state assembly elections would be held on 7 February 2015 with results being announced on 10 February 2015.
