Former Union minister and Congress general secretary Ajay Maken, who on Monday emerged as the face of his party's campaign for the Delhi elections next month, is expected to figure in the list of candidates for the February 7 polls the party will release later on Tuesday.

Maken is likely to be named chairman of the party's campaign committee and is expected to contest from the Delhi Sadar seat. A meeting of the Congress Election Committee chaired by Sonia Gandhi on Monday finalised candidates for 39 seats for the Assembly polls.

The other senior Congress leaders likely to be fielded by the Congress are former Union Minister Krishna Tirath and former MP Mahabal Mishra, who is expected to contest from Dwarka.

President Pranab Mukherjee's daugher Sharmistha Mukherjee, who recently joined Congress, is expected to try her luck from Greater Kailash.

Another senior party leader Kiran Walia may contest from New Delhi, where AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal made a spectacular debut by defeating three-time chief minister Sheila Dikshit in the last elections in 2013. Kejriwal is expected to contest again from the same seat. Dikshit is not contesting elections this time.
