Sat Feb 08 01:46:30 UTC 2025: ## BJP Poised for Delhi Victory After 26 Years: Exit Polls Predict AAP Upset
**New Delhi** – Delhi is bracing for a potential political earthquake as the 2025 Assembly election results are released today. Exit polls overwhelmingly predict a BJP victory, ending the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) 15-year reign. This would mark the BJP’s return to power in the national capital after a 26-year absence.
The election, held on February 5th with a 60.54% voter turnout, saw a fierce contest between the AAP, facing numerous criminal cases, and a confident BJP riding high on its recent Lok Sabha election success. Tensions rose on the eve of the count when the AAP accused the Election Commission of withholding booth-wise data.
While most projections point to a significant BJP win, the Congress is expected to remain largely marginalized, failing to improve on its performance in previous elections. An AAP victory, however, would have marked a fourth consecutive term and surpassed the Congress’s previous record of 15 years in power. The final results will determine whether Delhi witnesses a historic shift in power or the continuation of AAP’s rule.
