Delhi exit polls: Congress on course for a hat-trick of zeros?
Delhi Exit polls: The Congress won no seat in the last two Delhi Elections — in 2015 and 2020. Will the grand-old party suffer another rout in the 2025 elections? Here's what exit polls predicted:
Delhi Exit Polls 2025: Several exit polls predicted a hat-trick for the Congress—a hat-trick in winning zero seats in the Delhi Assembly. However, a few Delhi exit polls predicted that the grand-old party could win a meagre one or two seats in the 70-member assembly.
The Congress won no seat in the last two Delhi Elections — in 2015 and 2020. The party, which ruled Delhi for 15 years — between 1998 and 2013 — lost power in the national capital when Arvind Kejriwal's AAP took over the reins in 2013.
Will the Congress get an MLA in the Delhi Assembly this time? Many exit polls on Wednesday, February 5, projected zero seats for the Congress, but some predicted that the grand old party could hope for revival with one or two seats in the assembly.
Several exit polls predicted the BJP's victory over the ruling AAP, while the Congress was projected to suffer yet another rout.
P-Marq exit poll predicted a majority for the BJP and only 0-1 seat to the Congress. Matrize exit poll, which predicted a hung assembly in Delhi — not giving an absolute majority to either the AAP or the BJP — said the Congress is likely to open its account for the first time in more than a decade.
Chanakya is the only agency to predict 2-3 seats for Congress in Delhi. Here's a look at what different exit polls predicted for the Congress, the AAP and the BJP:
| Exit polls | AAP (seats) | BJP (seats) | Congress (seats) |
| Matrize | 32-37 | 35-40 | - |
| JVC Poll | 22-31 | 39-45 | 0-2 |
| Peoples Pulse | 10-19 | 51-60 | 0 |
| P-MarQ | 21-31 | 39-49 | 0-1 |
| People's insight | 25-29 | 40-44 | 1 |
| Chanakya Strategies | 25-28 | 39-44 | 2-3 |
| Wee Preside | 46-52 | 18-23 | 0-1 |
| Mind Blink | 44-49 | 21-25 | 0-1 |
| Poll Diary | 18-25 | 42-50 | 0-2 |
Delhi Election Results 2025
The official results for the Delhi Assembly Elections will be revealed on February 8, Saturday. The voting on all the 70 assembly seats took place on Wednesday, February 5.
Delhi recorded 57.89 per cent voter turnout in the assembly polls on Wednesday amid charges of malpractices, including money distribution and fake voting by both the AAP and BJP, which are engaged in an intense battle to decide who rules the national capital.
The turnout was about five percentage points lower than the 2020 assembly polls (62.59 per cent) — when the Arvind Kejriwal-led party won 62 seat of the 70 seats, while the BJP got eight and the Congress zero.
