NEW DELHI: In Election Commission of India ( ECI ) records, ‘AAP’ is actually called ‘ AAAP ’ and it’s not a typo. The Commission’s website clearly reflects the actual abbreviation of the party and you may find it on its website, showing Delhi election result and trends.The abbreviation ‘AAP’ was allotted to Awami Aamjan Party much before the Aam Aadmi Party was actually formed.“Triple A in the abbreviation is not a typo ... Same abbreviation was used in 2015 Elections also as ‘AAP’ was already allotted to another party before Aam Aadmi Party approached ECI for registration in 2013,” said Sheyphali Sharan, spokesperson of the ECI, in response to a question from TOI on twitter.Sharan tweeted that the Awami Aamjan Party was registered with the ECI on January 3, 2011.
