The 2025 Delhi assembly elections saw a significant shift in voter preferences, leading to a historic victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and ending their 27-year exile from power.
The BJP improved its vote share by 7.3 percentage points to secure 45.8 per cent of votes, while the AAP saw its share dip by nearly 10 percentage points to 43.8 percent.
Meanwhile, the Congress saw its vote share go up by 2 percentage points to 6.4 percent.
Though the difference between AAP and BJP in terms of voter percentage was just two points, the seat share graph presented an entirely different picture.
The BJP was able to translate its increase in voter percentage into a whopping addition of 40 seats. The nearly 10 percentage point decrease in vote share of AAP, resulted in the party losing 40 seats.
