The BJP was leading in 24 assembly seats in Delhi while the AAP was ahead in six, according to initial counting trends on the Election Commission website.
However, television channels showed the saffron party ahead in 44 seats, well above the majority mark of 36. The AAP was ahead in 25 seats and the Congress in one.
The BJP’s Kapil Mishra was leading in the Karawal Nagar seat by 3,109 votes while Tilak Ram Gupta was ahead by 3,373 votes in Tri Nagar.
Saffron party candidates Sanjay Goel (Shahdara), Chandan Chaudhary (Sangam Vihar), Bajrang Shukla (Kirari) and Kartar Singh Tanwar (Chhatarpur) were also leading.
AAP’s Gopal Rai (Babarpur), Durgesh Pathak (Rajinder Nagar), Anjana Parcha (Trilokpuri) and Veer Singh Dhingan (Seemapuri) were ahead of their rivals.
According to the latest trends being run by television channels, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal, pitted against the BJP’s Parvesh Verma in the New Delhi seat, was trailing.
In the Kalkaji seat, Chief Minister Atishi was trailing the BJP’s Ramesh Bidhuri.
Former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia was also trailing in Jangpura while AAP’s Saurabh Bharadwaj was ahead in the Greater Kailash seat.
The results will reveal if AAP’s political dominance in Delhi remains intact or is dented enough by the BJP for the saffron party to return to power for the first time since 1998.
The Congress, which governed Delhi from 1998 to 2013, is looking to stage a comeback after failing to win a single seat in the previous two elections.
