Delhi Election Results 2025 Live Updates: BJP Poised for Historic Victory After 26 Years
New Delhi, February 8, 2025 – The high-stakes battle for Delhi has taken a decisive turn as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to form the government in the national capital after a gap of 26 years. According to the latest data from the Election Commission, the BJP is leading in 47 out of the 70 assembly constituencies, while the incumbent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is ahead in 23 seats.
The Delhi Assembly Elections 2025 witnessed an intense showdown between key political players, with the BJP mounting a formidable challenge against the ruling AAP. Meanwhile, the Congress Party, once a dominant force in the capital, aimed for a comeback after suffering electoral setbacks over the past decade.
High Voter Turnout with Regional Variations
Delhi recorded a moderate voter turnout of 60.42%, showcasing a keen interest among citizens in shaping the political future of the city. However, voting patterns varied significantly across districts. North East Delhi saw the highest participation with a voter turnout of 66.25%, whereas South East Delhi recorded a relatively lower turnout at 56.16%.
Key Candidates and Crucial Contests
The election witnessed high-profile contests in several constituencies, with major leaders fighting to secure their strongholds:
- New Delhi: AAP’s Arvind Kejriwal faced a tough challenge from BJP’s Parvesh Verma, making it one of the most closely watched battles.
- Kalkaji: A three-way contest unfolded as AAP’s Atishi, BJP’s Ramesh Bidhuri, and Congress’s Alka Lamba locked horns for supremacy.
- Jangpura: Former Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia (AAP) contested against strong opposition.
- Karawal Nagar: BJP’s Kapil Mishra took on AAP’s candidate in another crucial fight.
PM Modi’s Dig at AAP Amid Victory Surge
Amid the BJP’s strong performance, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a sharp swipe at the AAP government, criticizing its governance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Referring to reports of alleged misuse of public funds, he remarked, “When the world was battling COVID, AAP was busy building a ‘Sheesh Mahal’ (glass palace).” His statement resonated with BJP supporters, further energizing the party’s campaign narrative.
What This Victory Means for Delhi
If the trends hold, BJP’s victory will mark a historic political shift in Delhi, ending the 10-year rule of AAP. The party’s comeback in the national capital aligns with its broader strategy to expand its footprint across state elections leading up to the 2029 General Elections.
Meanwhile, AAP, which rose to power on the promise of good governance and pro-people policies, faces a moment of reckoning as it struggles to retain its influence. The Congress party, which ruled Delhi for 15 years under Sheila Dikshit, remains in a rebuilding phase as it attempts to regain lost ground.
