The 2025 Delhi Legislative Assembly elections were held on February 5, 2025, with vote counting currently underway. Early results indicate that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is leading in more than 40 out of the 70 assembly seats, suggesting a potential victory in the region after over 25 years.
BJP Leads Delhi Elections 2025
This election is significant as the BJP aims to regain control in Delhi, a region it hasn’t governed since 1993. The incumbent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), led by Arvind Kejriwal, secured a landslide victory in the 2020 elections, winning 62 out of 70 seats. However, early trends from this election show the BJP making substantial gains.
Both parties have campaigned vigorously, offering various incentives to voters. The BJP, for instance, has promised improvements in public services and financial incentives, a strategy previously criticized by Modi but now adopted to garner support.
The final results are expected to be announced later today. A BJP victory would mark a significant shift in Delhi’s political landscape, ending AAP’s decade-long governance in the capital.
