Exit polls for the 2025 Delhi Assembly Elections suggest a shift in the political landscape, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) projected to secure a decisive victory, while the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) faces a major setback.
According to various exit polls, BJP+ is expected to win 43 seats, well above the majority mark of 36 in the 70-member assembly.
AAP, on the other hand, is projected to secure around 26 seats, a sharp decline from its 62 seats in the previous election. The Congress is likely to remain a marginal player, securing just 1 to 2 seats.

BJP’s Strong Performance
If these predictions hold, the BJP is poised to return to power in Delhi after more than a decade, overturning AAP’s stronghold. The BJP’s focus on national security, governance, and development may have played a key role in influencing voter sentiment.
AAP’s Declining Fortunes
Arvind Kejriwal’s AAP, which had secured a landslide victory in 2020 with 62 out of 70 seats, is now expected to face a major setback. Despite its efforts in sectors like education and healthcare, the party appears to be losing ground in this election.
Congress Remains a Marginal Player
The Congress, which once dominated Delhi politics, continues to struggle for relevance. All exit polls predict a near-wipeout, with minimal seat projections for the party.
While exit polls offer an early glimpse into the trends, the final results will be determined when votes are officially counted.
