The biggest celebration was on at the AAP headquarters at East Patel Nagar in west Delhi where thousands of Aam Aadmi Party activists as well as supporters cheered every time the party won a seat.

Bedi was trailing after first round of counting. AAP candidate and former Minister Rakhi Birla was leading in Mangolpuri constituency in North West Delhi against her Congress rival Raj Kumar Chouhan.
