The 2025 Delhi Legislative Assembly elections, held on February 5, 2025, marked a significant political shift in the National Capital Territory. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) achieved a decisive victory, securing 48 out of 70 seats, thereby forming a government in Delhi after a 27-year hiatus.
The voter turnout was recorded at 58.22%, reflecting a moderate level of public engagement in the electoral process.
In a notable development, the BJP won the Mangolpuri and Jangpura constituencies for the first time since the formation of the Delhi Legislative Assembly in 1993.
The election witnessed intense campaigning, with major political parties focusing on key issues pertinent to Delhi’s electorate. The BJP accused AAP’s Arvind Kejriwal of corruption, while AAP highlighted its achievements in education and healthcare.
The 2025 elections were held in a single phase on February 5, with results declared on February 8. A total of 1.56 crore voters were eligible to cast their ballots across 70 assembly constituencies.
This election marks a pivotal moment in Delhi’s political landscape, with the BJP set to implement its vision for the city’s development after a prolonged period in opposition.
