The Delhi Medical Association (DMA) on Sunday elected Dr Girish Tyagi as its representative to the Delhi Medical Council (DMC). He defeated four candidates in the election held at DMA House in Daryaganj.
DMA officials said the election was conducted at the association headquarters under the supervision of an election commission constituted by the DMA State Executive Meeting in accordance with the association’s constitution.

The DMA described the process as “free, fair and transparent”. It said the election was supervised by Dr Ajay Lekhi, Dr Hans Raj Satija and Dr Pramod Gautam. DMA Honorary State Secretary Dr Vipender Sabherwal convened the process.
The result comes at a significant time for Delhi’s medical fraternity, as the elected representative will formally represent the association before the DMC. The DMA said it would officially communicate the result to the council before May 20, 2026, in line with directions issued by the DMC.
In a statement, DMA President Dr Neelam Lekhi congratulated Dr Girish Tyagi on his victory and thanked members for participating in the election. The association also acknowledged the role of candidates and members in “strengthening democratic professional representation”.
