New Delhi: In a drastic turn of events, Aam Aadmi Party Big guns Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia have lost their respective seats. Manish Sisodia contested from Jangpura whereas Arvind Kejriwal was fielded at New Delhi seat by AAP. On the other hand, Atishi has won her seat Kalkaji by a slim margin against Ramesh Bidhuri.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is leading in 48 Assembly seats while the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is ahead in 22 Assembly seats as of 12.30 pm on Saturday, according to the Election Commission of India (ECI). Counting for the Delhi Assembly elections commenced at 8 am on Saturday, with the top contenders, AAP and the BJP, vying to form the government in the national capital. Voting for all 70 seats of the Delhi Assembly took place on Wednesday, February 5, and several candidates in the fray visited nearby temples to offer their prayers ahead of the results.
Voting for the Delhi Assembly poll 2025 took place in a single phase on February 5. According to the Election Commission of India (EC) data, the approximate voter turnout after the Delhi Assembly election stood at 60.54 percent, with the North East district recording the highest voting percentage — 66.25 percent. The lowest polling was recorded in the South East Delhi district at 56.40 percent.
The incumbent AAP, BJP, and Congress are the main contenders of Delhi poll 2025. AAP is eyeing a third straight full term in Delhi. AAP, which has dominated the last two Assembly polls in Delhi, won 62 out of 70 seats in the 2020 election, while the BJP won eight. Congress, which ruled Delhi for 15 years, failed to open its account in the last two Assembly polls and is predicted to perform similarly this time as well.
Exit poll results for the Delhi election were released on Wednesday evening after the voting for the Assembly poll concluded. Most exit polls projected a comfortable win for the BJP in the Delhi Assembly election, while the incumbent AAP is predicted to be failing to hit a hattrick. Exit polls projected another rout for Congress.
