The seat of assembly is the Old Secretariat building, which is also the seat of the [[Government of Delhi]].

However, the [[States Reorganisation Commission]], set up in 1953, led to the Constitutional amendment through [[States Reorganisation Act, 1956]], which came into effect on 1 November 1956. This meant that Delhi was no longer a Part-C State and was made a [[Union Territory]] under the direct administration of the President of India. Also the Delhi Legislative Assembly and the Council of Ministers were abolished simultaneously. Subsequently, the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957 was enacted which led to the formation the Municipal Corporation.<ref name=hist/>

This Council was finally replaced by the Delhi Legislative Assembly through the Constitution (Sixty-ninth Amendment) Act, 1991, followed by the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act, 1991 the Sixty-ninth Amendment to the [[Constitution of India]], which declared the Union Territory of Delhi to be formally known as [[National Capital Territory of Delhi]] and also supplements the constitutional provisions relating to the Legislative Assembly and the Council of Ministers and related matters.<ref>[http://indiacode.nic.in/coiweb/amend/amend69.htm THE CONSTITUTION (Sixty-ninth Amendment) Act, 1991]</ref> The Legislative Assembly is selected for period of five years, and presently it is the seventh assembly, which was selected through the [[2020 Delhi Legislative Assembly election|2020 Legislative Assembly election]].
