Delhi Assembly Election 2025 Live Updates: The counting of votes for the Delhi Assembly elections will take place today, deciding whether the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) secures a fourth consecutive term or if the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) stages a comeback after more than 26 years.
The Congress, which has faced two consecutive electoral defeats, is also looking to make modest gains in the high-stakes contest.
Vote counting will commence at 8am across 19 counting stations spanning 11 districts. Shahdara, Central Delhi, East, South, and Southwest districts will each have one counting center, while North, West, Northeast, and Southeast districts will have two each. The New Delhi and Northwest districts will have three counting stations apiece.
Exit polls have largely favored the BJP over AAP, which has been in power since 2015.
The Election Commission reported a voter turnout of 60.54% on Wednesday.
On the eve of the results, political tensions flared outside AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal’s residence as a team from the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) arrived, seeking evidence for his allegations that the BJP attempted to poach AAP candidates.
With Kejriwal refusing to meet the officials at his Ferozeshah Road residence, they served him a legal notice demanding proof of his claims. This development follows an ACB probe initiated by Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena.
Meanwhile, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva has expressed confidence in his party’s performance, predicting a win of nearly 50 seats. AAP, however, has dismissed exit poll findings, maintaining that it will return to power, with Kejriwal set for a fourth term as chief minister
