The AAP has been in power in Delhi since 2015. AAP first rose to prominence in the 2015 Delhi Assembly polls, defeating both the BJP and Congress, and winning 67 out of 70 seats. The party retained power in 2020 with 62 seats, maintaining its dominance over the opposition BJP and Congress.
A victory for AAP in these elections would further solidify Kejriwal’s leadership in Delhi and boost his national political standing. However, if BJP wins the polls, it would mark the party’s return to power in Delhi after 27 years. A BJP victory would also break the decade-long hold AAP and Kejriwal have maintained in the capital. The Congress, which governed Delhi for 15 consecutive years until 2013, is hoping for a revival after failing to win any seats in the past two elections
