Vote counting started early Saturday in the high-stakes state legislature election in India’s federal territory, including New Delhi.

Stakes are high for former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP convenor Kejriwal who is seeking re-election from the seat for the fourth time. This time, Kejriwal who has held the seat since 2013, is pitted against BJP's Parvesh Verma and Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit.

He was denied a BJP ticket for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. But that did not waver his loyalty. Less than a year later, Parvesh Verma is the biggest winner of the Delhi election. He has defeated AAP

Delhi is witnessing a triangular contest between AAP, the BJP and Congress this time as the latter two parties have decided to go solo after their defeat in the 2024 Lok Sabha election as part of the Opposition's INDIA bloc.

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

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.

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.

BJP is poised to reclaim power in Delhi after 27 years, leading in 47 seats while AAP struggles at 23. Key AAP leaders are either trailing or have lost. The party that once promised political change now faces a major electoral defeat.

Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha today, February 8 said that the results of the Delhi elections were expected, as people had witnessed the deep-rooted corruption of the AAP government in Delhi.

Election results are in, and the outcomes reveal significant shifts. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has lost, but what’s noteworthy is that the defeat has highlighted the impact of Arvind Kejriwal’s personality on the election.
