KKN Gurugram Desk | The Delhi Assembly Election 2025 results are unfolding, marking the end of a heated political contest between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). With the BJP energized by its Lok Sabha election victory, and the AAP battling multiple legal cases, the results are expected to shape the political future of the national capital.
A controversy erupted just before the counting, with AAP accusing the Election Commission of withholding booth-wise polling data. However, all eyes are now on the results as the BJP appears set to end AAP’s decade-long rule.
According to most exit polls, the BJP and its allies are projected to secure a majority, making way for the party’s return to power in Delhi after 28 years. If AAP retains power, it will mark its fourth consecutive term, surpassing the Congress’ 15-year dominance in the capital.
The Delhi Assembly elections 2025, held on February 5, witnessed a voter turnout of 60.54%. Early counting trends indicate a significant shift in voting patterns compared to the 2020 elections, where AAP had secured a landslide victory with 62 out of 70 seats.
One of the most striking results is emerging from South Delhi, where BJP is leading in 11 out of 15 seats, while AAP is ahead in just four. This marks a sharp contrast to the 2020 elections, where AAP had won 14 out of 15 seats in the region.
These 15 assembly constituencies include major areas such as New Delhi, Greater Kailash, Malviya Nagar, RK Puram, and Kasturba Nagar. As of 10 AM, BJP was leading in 44 out of 70 seats, while AAP lagged behind with leads in only 25 seats.
As early trends suggested a BJP sweep in Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah took a swipe at the INDIA alliance, particularly AAP and Congress.
In a cryptic post on social media, Abdullah wrote, “Aur lado aapas mein” (keep fighting among yourselves), hinting at the internal conflicts within the opposition bloc.
At 10:15 AM, several top AAP leaders were trailing in their respective constituencies. Education Minister Atishi and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia were struggling to gain momentum.
However, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal managed to maintain a lead in his constituency, keeping hopes alive for the party’s stronghold.
If BJP maintains its lead, Delhi will join the list of opposition-ruled states falling to the saffron wave. The BJP already governs Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan, the three states surrounding the national capital.
For the BJP, ending its 27-year wait for power in Delhi will be a major political milestone, especially after humiliating defeats in 2015 and 2020, when the party won just 3 and 8 seats, respectively.
BJP’s Ramesh Bidhuri has taken the lead in Kalkaji, leaving behind Congress’ Alka Lamba and AAP’s Atishi. Before heading to the counting center, Bidhuri was seen offering prayers, indicating his confidence in the outcome.
AAP’s Patparganj candidate Avadh Ojha, a well-known civil services exam tutor, is trailing behind BJP’s Ravinder Negi. This seat was earlier held by Manish Sisodia, who was shifted to Jangpura to accommodate Ojha.
Patparganj was considered a safe seat for AAP, particularly due to its association with Delhi’s education reforms. However, early trends suggest a tough fight for the party.
With the BJP leading in 50 seats, Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva claimed that the people of Delhi have rejected AAP’s false promises.
“Arvind Kejriwal’s lies have been exposed. Those who betray the people will face defeat,” he stated. However, he refrained from confirming the BJP’s Chief Ministerial candidate, saying it will be decided by the central leadership.
One of the major issues during the election campaign was the Yamuna River’s water quality.
The Yamuna pollution issue could have played a crucial role in voter sentiment shifting towards the BJP.
As the counting progressed, BJP crossed the majority mark, solidifying its chances of forming a government.
This marks a historic moment for the party, as it returns to power in Delhi after nearly three decades.
AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal’s government bungalow became a major election issue, with BJP dubbing it “Sheesh Mahal”.
Despite his defense, the controversy appears to have hurt AAP’s image, especially among middle-class voters.
With BJP leading in Delhi, the political landscape of the capital is undergoing a major transformation. The AAP’s declining hold, Congress’ continued struggle, and BJP’s resurgence indicate a shift in voter preferences.
The final Delhi Election 2025 results will determine whether AAP can retain power or if BJP will return to govern the National Capital after 28 years. Stay tuned for real-time updates and in-depth analysis on KKNLive.com.
