AAP has won 15 seats and is ahead in 7 others. The Congress failed to secure any lead in any seat.
Counting of votes began at 8 am today. In the polls, AAP was aiming for a third consecutive full term in Delhi. AAP secured 62 out of 70 seats in the 2020 polls, while the BJP claimed just eight. Congress, which governed Delhi for 15 years, failed to win any seats in the past two elections.
Voting took place in a single phase on February 5 for all 70 seats of the Delhi assembly. Exit polls had forecast a BJP comeback in Delhi after 27 years, with the party expected to comfortably reach the majority mark of 36 seats and potentially secure an additional 10-15 seats.
