The Delhi Assembly Elections 2025 have resulted in a massive win for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which is set to form the government in the capital after 27 years. The saffron party won 48 out of 70 seats, while the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) managed to win only 22 seats.
The elections proved to be a major setback for AAP, as several of its top leaders, including party chief and former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and ex-Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, lost their seats. Other prominent leaders, including Saurabh Bharadwaj and Somnath Bharti, also failed to secure victories. In the 2020 Assembly elections, the AAP had won 62 seats, however, this time the party was reduced to just 22 seats. However, three AAP ministers -- Gopal Rai, Mukesh Ahlawat, and Imran Hussain -- emerged as the saving grace for the party, securing victories amid a wave of losses for senior leaders.
