LIVE Updates | Delhi Election Results 2025: Kejriwal’s Bastion Crumble? Counting Of Votes To Start At 8 AM

Delhi Election Result 2025 LIVE Updates: Counting of votes to start at 8 AM tomorrow. It will be remarkable to see which party—AAP, BJP, or Congress—reinstates its dominance over Delhi, as pollsters predict a rejig in power.

Delhi Election Results 2025 LIVE: The counting of votes for the high-stakes Delhi Assembly Elections 2025 will begin at 8 AM tomorrow (February 8, Saturday). The three-cornered battle for the national capital saw the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the Congress lock horns across 70 Assembly constituencies.  

In the single-phase voting held on Wednesday (February 5), the voter turnout stood at 60.44%. The North East district recorded the highest polling at 66.25%, while the South East district registered the lowest at 56.31%, as per the Election Commission of India (ECI).  

It will be remarkable to see which party reinstates its dominance over Delhi, as pollsters predict a rejig in power. According to Axis My India exit poll, AAP is expected to secure between 15 and 25 seats, while the BJP-led alliance (BJP+) may clinch 45 to 55 seats. Congress, meanwhile, is projected to be reduced to a mere 0-1 seats tally. Chanakya Strategies has estimated AAP’s count at 25-28 seats, BJP+ at 39-44 seats, and Congress at 2-3 seats.  

The election results hold critical implications—AAP is eyeing to retain power for a third straight term, BJP is strategizing a resurgence after 27 years in the wilderness, and Congress is attempting to reclaim lost ground in a city it once ruled unchallenged. 

Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP scripted landslide victories in the last two Assembly elections, securing 62 out of 70 seats in 2020, while BJP managed to bag only 8 seats. Congress, on the other hand, has been electorally decimated in the past two polls, failing to win a single seat in both 2015 and 2020. 

Delhi’s 70 constituencies include 58 general seats, while 12 are reserved for Scheduled Castes (SC) to ensure inclusive representation.

Delhi Election Results 2025 Live: How Accurate Were Exit Polls in Past Elections? 

Exit polls in Delhi have struggled to gauge AAP's dominance since its debut in 2013. While they correctly predicted a hung Assembly in 2013, they underestimated AAP's sweeping victories in 2015 and 2020. 

In 2013, an average of four exit polls gave BJP 35 seats, just short of the 36-seat majority. AAP and Congress were projected to win 17 seats each. The actual results saw BJP securing 32, AAP 28, and Congress just eight. 

Past trends suggest exit polls have often failed to capture Delhi's political shifts. Will 2025 be any different?
