key points of note on Delhi Elections

Vote Counting Schedule: Polling on February 5 began the counting of  Delhi Assembly Election 2025 results at 8 a.m. on February 8.

Voter Turnout: The Election Commission of India (ECI) stated a voter turnout of 60.54 percent. While the South East District had the lowest showing at 56.4 percent, the North East District had the top turnout at 66.25 percent.

Main Political Contenders: The key rivalry is among (not in any particular order) AAP, BJP, and Congress. Seeking a third continuous term, AAP has ruled Delhi’s political scene in recent years. AAP claimed a resounding victory in the **2020 assembly elections with 62 seats out of 70 seats, while BJP won with eight seats. Having governed Delhi for 15 years, Congress lost all seats in the last two elections and is expected to have a hard time in this one as well.

Exit polls expect BJP to score a decisive victory but AAP will fall short of a third term; these results came out on Wednesday night following the end of the voting. The forecasts also point to another poor congressional performance.
