Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) inches towards a historic win in the Delhi Assembly Elections 2020.
The latest trends show AAP is leading in 60 seats in 70-member legislative Assembly of Delhi while Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is leading in 7 seats.
After a daylong see-saw battle, Delhi’s deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia won from Pataparganj seat.
AAP leader Raghav Chadha also claimed victory from Rajinder Nagar. “People of Delhi have proven that Delhi’s son Arvind Kejriwal isn’t a terrorist but a true patriot,” said Raghav Chadha.
AAP’s Atishi defeated BJP’s Dharambir Singh in Kalkaji assembly constituency.
The counting of votes is taking place at 21 centres across the city. If Kejriwal wins the election this year, it would be a hat-trick for his party which had managed to win 67 seats in the 2015 polls.
Delhi voted for the 70-member legislative Assembly on Saturday, 8 February.
