The Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will visit poll-bound Uttarakhand on Tuesday.

During the visit Kejriwal will make some more announcements to woo the voters in order to gain their support in upcoming Assembly elections due early next year.

"I am going to Uttarakhand tomorrow (Tuesday). AAP is going to make a very important announcement. This announcement will prove to be a milestone for the progress and development of Uttarakhand," Kejriwal tweeted.

Sources in the party told IANS that Kejriwal may announce the name of party's chief ministerial candidate for the upcoming polls.

The Uttarakhand unit of AAP has been pushing the central leadership of the party to announce the chief ministerial face, sources in AAP said.
