Pollsters predict major setback to AAP, BJP's return to capital after 27 years

The Election Commission of India said that Delhi witnessed a voter turnout of 60.42 per cent in the high-stakes assembly elections on Wednesday.

According to most exit polls for Delhi Assembly Election 2025, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is expected to make a comeback in the national capital after 27 years, while the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is unlikely to go beyond 30 seats. Meanwhile, pollsters predicted that the Congress party will fail to make an impact in Delhi and their seat tally is unlikely to go beyond 3.

Exit polls have shown varying degrees of accuracy in Delhi elections since the emergence of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in 2013. In 2013, while they correctly predicted a hung assembly, they significantly underestimated the strength of the AAP.

According to the Election Commission data, out of the eleven districts, North East recorded the highest voter turnout of 66.25 per cent, while South East recorded the lowest at 56.16 per cent.
