As counting progresses for the Delhi Assembly Election 2025, early trends indicate a strong lead for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), crossing the halfway mark and posing a serious challenge to the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
According to latest trends from television channels, AAP chief and former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is trailing in the New Delhi constituency against BJP’s Parvesh Verma. In another major setback for AAP, Chief Minister Atishi is also trailing in Kalkaji, where BJP’s Ramesh Bidhuri has taken the lead.
Major Candidates Face Tough Contests
-In Jangpura, former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia is trailing.
-BJP’s Kapil Mishra is leading in Karawal Nagar.
-AAP’s Saurabh Bharadwaj is ahead in Greater Kailash.
The outcome of the election will determine whether AAP retains its political dominance in Delhi or if the BJP ends its 25-year wait for power in the National Capital. AAP, which secured landslide victories in 2015 and 2020, faces its toughest challenge yet as BJP surges ahead in early trends.
Congress Looks to Stage a Comeback
The Congress, which ruled Delhi from 1998 to 2013, is aiming for a political revival after drawing a blank in the last two assembly elections. While it has not been a major player in recent elections, its performance in key constituencies could impact the final results.
Voter Turnout and Political Landscape
Delhi, with 1.55 crore eligible voters, recorded a 60.54% voter turnout in the elections held on February 5. The results will shape the future of Delhi’s governance, deciding whether AAP continues its tenure or if BJP returns to power for the first time since 1998.
With counting still underway, all eyes remain on the final numbers as the political battle for Delhi intensifies.
