BJP comfortably won the two constituencies, Mustafabad and Karawal Nagar, that reported widespread complaints regarding alleged voter list manipulation, including deletions and bogus voting on polling day, February 5. Mustafabad recorded the highest voter turnout in North-East Delhi at 69%. Here, BJP's Mohan Singh Bisht, who was moved from his traditional Karawal Nagar seat, contested and defeated AAP's Adeel Ahmad Khan by a margin of 17,578 votes. AAP had fielded Khan after dropping incumbent MLA Haji Yunus. Meanwhile, Asaduddin Owaisi's AIMIM attempted to leverage dissatisfaction within the Muslim community by fielding former AAP councillor Tahir Hussain, an accused in the Delhi riots case. However, Hussain managed to secure only 33,474 votes, placing third.
