The Delhi Assembly Election 2025 results have brought a major political shift in the capital. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured a landslide victory, winning 48 out of 70 seats, ending the 10-year rule of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). This marks BJP’s return to power in Delhi after 27 years.
The elections were held on February 5, 2025, and the results were declared on February 8, 2025. The AAP, which had been in power since 2015, managed to win 22 seats, a major drop from its previous tally of 62 seats in 2020. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal lost his seat in the New Delhi constituency to BJP’s Parvesh Verma by a margin of around 4,000 votes. Other key AAP leaders, including Manish Sisodia, also faced defeat.
The BJP’s campaign focused on better governance, financial aid for women and youth, and infrastructure development. Their promises seemed to have resonated well with the voters, leading to this decisive victory.
With this win, BJP will now form the new Delhi government. The political landscape of Delhi has changed significantly, with AAP losing its stronghold. The coming months will determine how BJP fulfills its promises and governs the capital.
This election has been a turning point, proving that voter preferences can change based on performance and leadership.
