Delhi Assembly Elections 2025: Vote Counting Begins as BJP Eyes Comeback

Exit polls suggest BJP may end AAP's decade-long dominance, with results to reveal the future of Delhi's political leadership.

  • The counting of votes for the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections began at 8 am on February 8, with 5,000 personnel deployed across 19 counting centers in the city.
  • Exit polls predict a significant victory for the BJP, potentially securing 45-55 seats, while the AAP is expected to see a major decline from its 2020 performance.
  • The AAP, led by Arvind Kejriwal, is seeking a third consecutive term, but faces challenges including corruption allegations and claims of BJP's alleged attempts to poach its candidates.
  • Congress, which has failed to win any Delhi assembly seats since 2015, is projected to remain largely irrelevant, with exit polls estimating 0-3 seats.
  • Key constituencies include New Delhi, where Kejriwal faces BJP's Parvesh Verma and Congress' Sandeep Dikshit, and Kalkaji, where CM Atishi contests against BJP's Ramesh Bidhuri and Congress' Alka Lamba.
