Delhi Election Results 2025: Arvind Kejriwal, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief and former Delhi chief minister, has predicted the results of the Delhi assembly elections to be held on February 5. Expressing optimism and confidence, Kejriwal said that according to his estimate, the ruling party could win 55 of the 70 assembly seats in Delhi.
"But if women put in a lot of effort – everyone should go out to vote and convince the men in their house to vote for Aam Aadmi Party – then it can get more than 60 seats," Kejriwal posted on X.
During a roadshow in Kalka Ji assembly constituency on Monday, Kejriwal appealed “to my mothers and sisters to convince the male members of their families that there is nothing in the BJP.”
In the past Delhi assembly elections, women constituted a significant vote base for the AAP. According to the Lokniti-CSDS survey, more women voted for the AAP than for the BJP and Congress in the 2020 Delhi election.
The AAP received 60 per cent of the women's vote share in 2020, compared to 43 per cent of male voters. The BJP received 35 per cent of the women's vote, compared to 43 per cent of male voters. The Congress bagged 3 per cent of the women's vote, compared to 5 per cent of male voters.
Delhi is all set to go to the polls on Wednesday, February 5. As many as 1,55,37,634 voters will cast their votes to choose their MLAs and Delhi's next government. A total of 699 candidates are in the fray.
The results of the Delhi assembly elections will be declared on February 8.
In 2015, the AAP swept 67 of the 70 seats at stake, leaving just three for the BJP and none for the Congress. In 2020, the AAP maintained its dominance with 62 seats, while the BJP won eight and the Congress once again failed to open its account.
The AAP, the BJP and the Congress are in a triangular contest in Delhi.
While the AAP branded the BJP as "Bharatiya Jhootha Party" (Indian Liar Party) and "Gali Galouch Party" (Abusive Party), Prime Minister Narendra Modi hit back by dubbing the AAP as "AAP-Daa" (disaster) and its chief Arvind Kejriwal as "Ghoshna Mantri" (Minister of Announcements).
The Congress, trying to claw back into Delhi's political corridor, labelled Kejriwal as "Farziwal" (Fake) and a "Chhota Recharge" (Small Recharge) of Modi.
The Election Commission has issued a notification banning the conduct, publication or publicising of exit polls between 7.00 am and 6.30 pm on Wednesday, February 5, when votes will be cast for the Delhi assembly and two bypolls in Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
The 27-day high voltage campaigning for the February 5 Delhi Assembly polls saw an intense battle of nerves as AAP, BJP and Congresssparred over a range of issues, including "Sheesh Mahal vs Rajmahal", "poisonous Yamuna", "Bin Dulhe Ki Barat," freebies, and personal attacks.
699 candidates are contesting across 70 constituencies in Delhi. The results on February 8 will determine whether AAP secures a third consecutive term or if the BJP and Congress can make a significant comeback in the national capital.
