Delhi election results: AAP’s Virender Singh Kadian wins from Delhi Cantt constituency

Delhi election results: Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) Virender Singh Kadian emerged victorious in a closely contested electoral battle, securing 22,191 votes and defeating Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) Bhuvan Tanwar by a margin of 2,029 votes.

Bhuvan Tanwar, the BJP candidate, garnered 20,162 votes, falling short of victory. Meanwhile, Indian National Congress (INC) candidate Pradeep Kumar Upmanyu suffered a significant setback, managing only 4,252 votes, trailing by 17,939 votes from the winning candidate.

Kadian’s win marks a significant gain for AAP in the constituency, reflecting the party’s continued influence among voters. The BJP’s loss, despite a competitive performance, signals a tough contest in the region, while the Congress’s poor show underscores its struggle to regain footing.

Delhi Cantt is known for its diverse electorate, comprising both civilian and military voters, and plays a crucial role in shaping Delhi’s political landscape. This constituency falls under the New Delhi parliamentary seat, which BJP’s Bansuri Swaraj won in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, defeating AAP’s Somnath Bharti with a margin of 78,370 votes.
