Delhi Assembly Elections 2025: BJP leads, AAP faces losses, key leaders hold ground in high-stakes election.

The Bharatiya Janata Party has pulled into the lead, effectively preventing the Aam Aadmi Party from forming the government in the National Capital Territory for a fourth time. Let’s dive into the key highlights and results of this high-stakes election.

The BJP has secured a significant lead, with some prominent AAP candidates facing crushing losses. One of the most shocking developments is the performance of AAP supremo and former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is trailing behind BJP’s Parvesh Sahib Singh in the New Delhi constituency.

Kejriwal, who has been a dominant figure in Delhi politics for over a decade, is now facing the possibility of a major upset. Meanwhile, BJP’s Parvesh Sahib Singh is being hailed as the ‘giant-killer’ in this election.

Incumbent Chief Minister Atishi is holding her ground in the Kalkaji constituency, leading against BJP’s Ramesh Bidhuri. Atishi, who took over the reins from Kejriwal, has been a key figure in AAP’s campaign this year.

On the other hand, AAP’s Saurabh Bharadwaj, who held multiple portfolios including Health and Urban Development, has lost to BJP’s Shikha Roy in the Greater Kailash constituency. This is a significant setback for the party, as Bharadwaj was one of their star candidates.

Gopal Rai, the outgoing Environment Minister, has retained his Babarpur seat, defeating BJP’s Anil Kumar Vashist by a comfortable margin. Rai’s victory is a silver lining for AAP in an otherwise tough election.

Another AAP leader who has held on to his seat is Imran Hussain. The outgoing Minister for Food & Supply and Elections has defeated BJP’s Kamal Bagri in the Ballimaran constituency by a massive margin.
