Delhi Election Results Predict BJP Win After 27 Years
The predicted win for the BJP would end the AAP's 9-year rule in Delhi, with the party set to win 43 seats, according to a "poll of polls," while AAP will win 26, and the Congress will win just 1 seat, emphasizing the party's inability to form an alliance with the AAP.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is projected to return to power in Delhi after over two decades, according to exit polls, with the party predicted to win 39-44 seats in the Delhi assembly elections held on February 6.
The exit polls suggest a tight race between the BJP and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), with the Congress predicted to fare poorly, securing only a single digit number of seats. The latest predictions have given the BJP between 42-61 seats, while the AAP is expected to get between 15-27 seats. The updated poll of exit polls now gives the BJP 42 out of 70 seats, which is six more than the required majority to form the government.
If the predictions hold true, the BJP will be back in power in Delhi after a 27-year hiatus, marking the party's first victory in Delhi since 1998. The victory would be a significant win for the BJP after a poor performance in the 2024 general elections and could mark a turning point for the party. The AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal has denied the exit polls, citing past inaccuracies, but the party has been plagued by corruption allegations, including a liquor scam, during its second term.
The final results of the Delhi assembly elections will be declared on February 8, and it remains to be seen if the exit polls will accurately predict the outcome. However, if the BJP does emerge victorious, it will mark a significant shift in the political landscape of the national capital.
