Delhi election 2025: Exit polls

Exit polls showed that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has a strong possibility of returning to power in Delhi after nearly 27 years. While some projections indicate a tight race with the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the Congress is expected to remain a marginal contender.  

 

To secure a majority in the 70-member Delhi Assembly, a party needs 36 seats. Estimates suggest BJP could win between 35 and 49 seats, while the AAP is projected to secure between 21 and 37 seats. The Congress, once a dominant force in Delhi, is expected to win a maximum of three seats.
