Summary

It has been a historic hat-trick for Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi winning 62 seats while BJP had to contend with single-digits and Congress could not even open its account. After securing a third-term as chief minister Arvind Kejriwal termed it a "victory for India" and one that gives rise to "a new kind of politics". Unlike 2015, this is a victory for Kejriwal the politician and incumbent chief minister, not Kejriwal the activist. His deputy Manish Sisodia was trailing in the early rounds of counting, but a late surge helped him win his seat by a margin of 3,000 votes. In fact, most of the big names in the Aam Aadmi Party like Raghav Chadha, Atishi Marlena, Gopal Rai, Sourabh Bharadwaj all managed to win their seats. For the BJP, which turned this election into a referendum of sorts on the Citizenship Amendment Bill and Shaheen Bagh protests, the results were a rude shock. The party won just eight seats after a vitriolic campaign that saw union minister Prakash Javadekar calling Kejriwal a "terrorist".The only solace for the BJP was the gain in vote share to over 38 percent. But the Aam Aadmi Party has largely managed to hold its vote share from 2015. The BJP's gains are largely due to the rout of the Congress Party which saw its vote share fall below 5 percent. Election results largely confirm what the exit polls predicted on Saturday after the voting for 70 assembly constituencies ended in the evening. Delhi recorded an overall voter turnout of 62.59 percent, as per the Election Commission data.
