Idk where you got these stats or what metric is used but this is absolutely wrong
The population statistics given refer only to the official capital area, and do not include the wider metropolitan/urban district.
However, this quiz was compiled some years ago - I just reviewed the source and there have been changes - notably Kinshasa has shot up to 3rd on the list, overtaking Moscow!
I should ideally update when I have time. To your point - New Delhi is NOW listed as larger than Gaborone - 257,803 to 225,656
