BJP's Comeback in Delhi After 2 Decades, AAP Out, Predict Exit Polls

After voting concluded for the 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly elections this evening, 11 exit polls predicted a major setback for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).

Nine exit polls forecast that the BJP will secure a majority, while two exit polls predicted a victory for AAP. Several other polls indicated a close contest, with an edge for BJP. If the majority of exit polls prove accurate, the BJP will return to power in Delhi after 27 years.

The last time the BJP formed a government in Delhi was in 1993, with three Chief Ministers serving in five years: Madan Lal Khurana, Sahib Singh Verma, and Sushma Swaraj. The Election Commission will announce the official results following the counting of votes on February 8. In the 70-member Delhi Assembly, the majority mark is 36 seats.
