Wed Feb 05 13:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Exit Polls Predict BJP Victory in Delhi Assembly Elections

**New Delhi, February 5, 2024** – Exit polls released following the Delhi Assembly elections held today suggest a significant shift in the political landscape of the capital. Multiple surveys indicate a close contest between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), with the BJP projected to win a majority.

While varying slightly in their specific seat projections, all exit polls predict a BJP victory. Matrize’s survey projects AAP at 32-37 seats and BJP at 35-40 seats, with Congress securing a single seat. Chanakya Strategy gives BJP a wider margin, forecasting 39-44 seats for the BJP and 25-28 for AAP, with Congress potentially winning 2-3 seats. Poll Diary projects an even more substantial BJP victory (42-50 seats) against AAP (18-25 seats), while People’s Insight and P-Marq predict BJP victories in the range of 40-44 seats and 39-49 seats respectively, with AAP projected to win between 21 and 31 seats in both. Across all surveys, Congress is projected to win between zero and three seats.

The current Chief Minister, Atishi, leads the AAP government, which has won three consecutive elections since 2013. However, this election was marked by the arrest and subsequent release on bail of former CM Arvind Kejriwal on money laundering charges.

The high-profile races watched closely include those for New Delhi (Kejriwal vs. BJP’s Pravesh Verma), Patparganj (AAP’s Awadh Ojha vs. BJP’s Ravinder Singh Negi), Rohini, Kalkaji (Atishi vs. Ramesh Bidhuri), and Jangpura.

Exit polls are based on surveys conducted with voters immediately after they cast their ballots. While offering a glimpse into potential outcomes, it is crucial to remember that they are not a definitive prediction of the final results. The official results of the Delhi Assembly elections will be declared on February 8th. Under the Representation of the People Act, 1951, publishing exit poll data before the completion of voting across all phases is a punishable offense.
