The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has claimed a massive victory in the Delhi Assembly Elections 2025, bringing an end to the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) rule in the capital. In a major political upset, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and senior leader Manish Sisodia lost their seats.
BJP’s Comeback After 27 Years
After nearly three decades, BJP has regained power in Delhi, securing a comfortable majority. Early trends showed a tight race, but BJP soon pulled ahead, leaving AAP behind. The party is leading on 47 seats, while AAP is ahead on 23. With a total of 70 assembly seats and a majority mark of 36, BJP’s return to power is now official.
Key Defeats for AAP
- Arvind Kejriwal lost from New Delhi to Parvesh Verma by 1,200 votes.
- Manish Sisodia was defeated in Jangpura.
With BJP’s decisive win, celebrations have erupted at the party headquarters. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to address party workers at 7:30 PM. Most exit polls had predicted BJP’s victory, and today’s results have confirmed the shift in Delhi’s political landscape.
