The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) surged past the majority mark in early trends, leading in 44 seats as vote counting continued. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), initially lagging, narrowed the gap with leads in 25 seats. The Election Commission of India began counting at 8 AM, with postal ballots counted first. Exit polls had predicted a strong BJP performance, making AAP’s hat-trick unlikely. With 699 candidates in the fray, the final results remain awaited. Congress remains a distant third. The outcome will determine Delhi’s next government after AAP’s two consecutive terms.
