Delhi Exit Poll Results 2025 Live Updates: BJP hopes 27-year exile coming to an end as exit polls give it edge

Delhi went to cast their votes on Wednesday for 70 assembly constituencies, as more than 1.5 crore registered voters participated in shaping the capital’s governance.

Delhi recorded a voter turnout of 60.42 per cent in the high-stakes assembly elections on Wednesday, according to data from the Election Commission of India.

The electoral battle features three main contenders: the incumbent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the Congress. AAP’s Arvind Kejriwal seeks a third straight term as chief minister, whilst BJP attempts to secure power after a 30-year absence. Congress strives to re-establish its presence after being out of power for ten years.

Key candidates include former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal competing against BJP’s Parvesh Verma and Congress’s Sandeep Dikshit, while CM Atishi faces challenges from BJP’s Ramesh Bidhuri and Congress’s Alka Lamba.

AAP’s manifesto focused on extending existing welfare programmes including free electricity, water, and bus travel, alongside financial assistance for women, students, and elderly citizens. BJP has announced new welfare schemes, comprising stipends for women and traders, and reduced gas cylinder prices.

Congress campaigned on promises of financial support for unemployed youth, women, and free electricity for low-consumption households.

The electoral process involves over 1.1 lakh officials and 60,000 security personnel ensuring orderly polling. The voter demographic includes 82.7 lakh male and 72.4 lakh female voters, utilising more than 21,500 ballot units and 18,943 VVPAT machines.

Once the voting concludes, exit polls, which were restricted until 6.30 pm, will be broadcast on news channels and shared across social media platforms.

The vote counting is scheduled for February 8.
