Delhi Assembly Elections 2025: AAP Aims for Third Victory

The AAP won sweeping victories in the 2015 and 2020 elections, securing 67 and 62 seats respectively. The BJP had to be content with 3 seats in 2015 and 8 seats in 2020, while the Congress failed to win any seat.
The AAP has announced its candidates on all 70 seats in Delhi. The BJP has announced 29 seats and the Congress 48 candidates.
Kejriwal to Contest Again from New Delhi
Former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will once again contest from the New Delhi Assembly seat. This time he will face Congress’ Sandeep Dikshit and BJP’s Parvesh Verma. Kejriwal has been continuously contesting elections from this seat and has a strong hold in this area.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Atishi is contesting from the Kalkaji seat, where she will face Congress’s Alka Lamba and BJP’s former MP Ramesh Bidhuri.
On Tuesday, January 7, 2025, AAP launched its campaign song “Phir Layenge Kejriwal”, which highlights the benefits of electricity and water subsidies currently being offered under the AAP government in Delhi.
