NEW DELHI: In a stunning political shift, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) claimed victory in the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections, securing 48 seats, a major rebound from its previous tally of 8 seats in 2020.

With 45.61 per cent of the vote share, the BJP outperformed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which could only manage 22 seats despite garnering 43.55 per cent of the vote.

This victory marks a significant political resurgence for the BJP, which has steadily grown in strength in the capital over the years.

The party's seat count skyrocketed by 40 seats compared to the 2020 elections, reflecting a 7.1 percentage point increase in its vote share, from 38.51 per cent to 45.61 per cent.
