After end of voting for the Delhi Assembly Elections, several polling agencies in collaboration with news organisations have released their exit poll numbers. Overall, the exit polls indicate a win for BJP, ending the three-term rule of Aam Aadmi Party. However, some other polls have predicted a close fight. All exit polls are unanimous that Congress is not winning any seats or may win just 1-2 seats.
As per P-MARQ exit poll, the BJP is likely to get 39-49 seats, AAP with 21-31 seats and Congress with 0-1 seats out of the 70 seats in Delhi. Matrize has predicted 35-40 seats for BJP, 32-37 seats for AAP, and just 0-1 seats for Congress.
Another poll agency People’s Insight has also predicted BJP’s win with 40-44 seats, with 26-28 seats for AAP and 1 for Congress. According to Chanakya Strategies, BJP is going to win 39-44 seats against 25-28 by AAP, while Congress may win 0-2.
While others have predicted a close win for BJP, Peoples Pulse exit polls show a landslide victory for the party. It has predicted 51-60 seats for BJP with 48.5% – 52.5% vote share. The agency has predicted 10-19 seats for AAP with 36.5% – 40.5% and zero seats for Congress with 6.5% – 8.5%.
Poll Diary has also made similar projections, with 42-50 predicted for BJP, 18-25 for AAP, and 0-2 for Congress. JVC has projected 39-45 for BJP, 22-31 for AAP and 0-2 for Congress.
Going by these exit poll numbers, BJP may return to power in Delhi after a long time. However, it may be noted that reliability of exit polls remains questionable, and many of recent exit polls didn’t match with actual results, including the 2024 Lok Sabha elections when most exit polls had predicted a clear majority for BJP.
