NEW DELHI: Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party registered a resounding victory in the Delhi assembly elections 2020 and retained power for a third term by winning 63 seats, hours after counting of votes began on Tuesday (February 11, 2020). AAP bigwigs Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Atishi, Gopal Rai, Satyendra Jain, Raghav Chadha, Saurabh Bhardwaj, Amanatulah Khan etc won over their nearest rivals in their respective assembly constituencies. The Narendra Modi and Amit Shah-powered BJP, which had taken an early lead shortly after counting of votes began, was reduced to a single digit. Meanwhile, several top opposition leaders congratulated AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal for successfully taking on the BJP in the crucial assembly election 2020. 

The counting of votes began at 8 am at 21 counting centres across Delhi and the final result is expected by the evening. The 21 centres are situated in nine of the 11 districts of the city. The districts with counting centres are - North, South West, South East, and Shahdara. There is one each in New Delhi, South, East, North East and North West districts. The counting of votes and results on each of the 70 seats will be declared live on the websites of the Election Commission- eciresults.nic.in, eci.gov.in and results.eci.gov.in.

The exit polls by different pollsters and the Zee News Maha Exit Poll had earlier predicted a massive victory for the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP with the BJP a distant second and Congress not even in the reckoning. AAP is expected to retain power with 55 seats while BJP would bag 14 and Congress just 1.

On a day when votes will be counted for Delhi assembly election 2020, take a quick glance at the key candidates whose fate is being decided today.

The AAP had registered a landslide victory in 2015 elections getting 67 of 70 seats. The BJP had won three seats while Congress failed to open its account. Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari refused to believe the exit poll predictions, and Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit also scoffed at them. However, AAP leaders were upbeat about the results.
