Parvesh Verma of BJP has defeated AAP national convenor and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the New Delhi assembly constituency.

Arvind Kejriwal congratulated the BJP on their victory and expressed hope that they would fulfill all the promises that earned them the people's votes.

Aam Aadmi Party national convenor and former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal lost the New Delhi assembly seat to BJP's Parvesh Verma by a margin of 4089 votes, the Election Commission announced on Saturday.

The Delhi assembly polls witnessed a division of Muslim votes but despite that the AAP managed to win six out of the seven seats.

Building its campaign on allegations of corruption against the AAP and banking on “freebies”, the BJP's 2025 win minimally reminds of the rise of the “muffler man” in 2013.
