**New Delhi, [Date of Publication]:** The stage is set for a fiercely contested Delhi Assembly election in 2025. Voting is scheduled for February 5th, 2025, with results announced on February 8th. A total of 70 seats are up for grabs – 58 general seats and 12 reserved for Scheduled Castes (SC) candidates. Approximately 1.55 crore voters, including a significant number of first-time voters, will participate in the election.

The Congress party will also contest, adding a third major player to the electoral fray.
While AAP is contesting all 70 seats, BJP has announced candidates for 29 seats so far. The Congress has declared candidates for 48 seats, ensuring a three-cornered contest in many constituencies. A detailed list of candidates from all major parties is expected to be released closer to the election date. The upcoming election is anticipated to be a closely fought battle between the three major contenders.
