In a significant political shift, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has regained power in Delhi after 27 years, securing 48 out of the 70 assembly seats. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which had been in power for the past decade, won 22 seats. Notably, several prominent AAP leaders, including former
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, and Saurabh Bharadwaj, lost their respective constituencies.
With the submission of the “Due Constitution Notification”, the path is now clear for the formation of a new government. The BJP is expected to announce its chief ministerial candidate in the coming days.
