New Delhi Assembly Seat: A Look at Past Elections
2020 Assembly Elections
In 2020, Arvind Kejriwal won this seat for AAP by defeating BJP’s Sunil Kumar Yadav with a comfortable margin of 21,687 votes.
2013-2015 Elections
Kejriwal first won the New Delhi constituency in 2013, securing a significant victory over Congress veteran Sheila Dikshit. He retained the seat in 2015, defeating BJP’s Nupur Sharma by nearly 32,000 votes.
2024 Lok Sabha Elections Impact
The New Delhi Assembly constituency falls under the New Delhi Lok Sabha seat, where BJP’s Bansuri Swaraj won the 2024 general elections, defeating AAP’s Somnath Bharti by a staggering 78,370 votes.
Historical Performance of BJP & Congress in New Delhi
The BJP has not won the New Delhi Assembly seat since 1977, making this election a crucial opportunity to break AAP’s dominance.
Congress, which ruled Delhi for 15 years until 2013, is aiming to regain lost ground. Sandeep Dikshit, a vocal critic of Kejriwal, is contesting to reclaim the seat that his mother once held.
A victory for BJP in the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections would mark the party’s return to power in the capital after 26 years, ending AAP’s decade-long control over the government.
What’s Next?
The final results will determine whether AAP secures a fourth consecutive term or if BJP manages to reclaim Delhi after a long hiatus. With vote counting still underway, the political scenario remains unpredictable. Stay tuned for real-time updates on the New Delhi Assembly election results.
