Delhi election results today; AAP and BJP in intense battle for glory

The counting of votes for the Delhi Assembly elections is set to take place on Saturday, determining whether the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) secures a fourth consecutive term in power or if the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) returns to government in the national capital after more than 26 years.

The Congress is also seeking to make gains after failing to secure a single seat in the last two elections.

On the eve of the poll results, high political drama unfolded outside AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal's residence, as officials from the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) arrived to seek details regarding his allegations that the BJP attempted to poach AAP candidates. Kejriwal did not meet the ACB officials at his residence on 5, Ferozeshah Road, following which they served him a legal notice asking for proof. The development comes after Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena ordered an ACB probe into the matter.

The vote counting process will begin at 8 am across 19 counting stations located in 11 districts of Delhi. The districts of Shahdara, Central Delhi, East, South, and Southwest will each have one counting station, while North, West, Northeast, and Southeast districts will each have two. New Delhi and Northwest districts will have three counting stations each. The Election Commission reported a voter turnout of 60.54 per cent on polling day.
