In a surprising turn of political tides, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) faced a significant decline in voter support during the recent Delhi Assembly elections. Their vote share plummeted from 53.57% in 2020 to 43.57% this year, marking a severe blow to the party's stronghold.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), in contrast, marked a return to dominance in the capital after 26 years. With a vote share escalating to 45.56%, the saffron party seized 48 seats, a notable leap from its previous performance of 38.51% vote share in 2020.
Meanwhile, the Congress party remained seatless, yet showed a slight improvement in vote share, climbing to 6.34% from 4.3% in the last assembly polls. This marginal gain, however, made little impact against AAP's decline and BJP's ascendancy.
