Delhi Election 2025: Exit polls

Exit polls predicted a strong possibility of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) reclaiming power in Delhi after nearly 27 years. While some projections indicate a close contest with the incumbent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the Congress is expected to play a marginal role.

A party needs 36 seats to secure a majority in the 70-member Delhi Assembly. Estimates predict BJP winning between 35 and 49 seats, while AAP is projected to secure between 21 and 37 seats. The Congress, once a dominant force in the capital, is expected to win at most three seats.
