The BJP staged a massive win in Delhi as it bagged 48 seats in the 70-member Assembly. AAP, which enjoyed a brute majority in the last two terms, was reduced to 22 seats, while the Congress failed to open its account for the third consecutive time.

AAP’s vote share declined by 10% as compared to its total vote share in the 2020 Assembly Elections when the party secured 62 seats. The party garnered a vote share of 43.57% as compared to 53.57% in the 2020 Assembly Election.
