Delhi Election Result updates 2025
BJP Makes a Historic Comeback in Delhi After 27 Years
As of February 8, 2025, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has staged a remarkable return to power in the Delhi Assembly elections, breaking a 27-year-long gap. The party has gained a decisive lead in over 40 of the 70 assembly constituencies, ensuring a comfortable majority.
This victory marks a significant political shift, as BJP had not held power in the capital since 1998. In stark contrast, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had dominated the 2020 elections, securing an overwhelming 62 out of 70 seats. The 2025 results indicate a major transformation in voter sentiment and the city’s political dynamics.
Major Setbacks for AAP Leadership
Several key figures from AAP suffered electoral setbacks. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal faced a tough battle in the New Delhi constituency, ultimately losing to BJP’s Parvesh Verma. Similarly, senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia was defeated in Jangpura by a margin of 900 votes. However, Atishi, the acting Chief Minister, managed to retain her Kalkaji seat. In an emotional speech, she vowed to continue the party’s fight, declaring, “Jung jaari rahegi” (The battle will continue).
Reactions and Political Impact
Union Home Minister Amit Shah attributed BJP’s success to the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling it a “victory of Modi ki guarantee.” The BJP’s strong performance reflects its ability to capitalize on governance promises and shifting public sentiment.
Voter Turnout and Future Prospects
This year’s election saw a voter turnout of approximately 57.86%, slightly lower than the 62.59% recorded in 2020. With the BJP reclaiming power in Delhi, attention now shifts to how the new government will address governance challenges and fulfill its campaign commitments.
This election marks a turning point in Delhi’s political landscape, setting the stage for a new era of leadership in the capital.
