- Exit polls predict a BJP victory in Delhi after 27 years, ending AAP’s two-term rule.
- Most pollsters see a significant setback for AAP, while Congress fails to make any major gains.
- No exit poll has predicted a hung assembly, with clear competition between BJP and AAP.
Is Delhi Set for a Political Shift?
The 2025 Delhi exit polls suggest a dramatic change in the political landscape of the national capital. After 27 years, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is poised to break its drought and return to power, as multiple poll agencies predict a sweeping win for the party. Pollsters such as P-Marq, Poll Diary, and People’s Pulse project BJP securing anywhere between 39 to 60 seats, well past the 36-seat majority mark.
On the other hand, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which has ruled Delhi since 2015, is facing a possible defeat. Only three exit polls—Mind Brink, WeePreside, and Zeenia—predict a third consecutive term for AAP, though the numbers suggest a tough fight. Some pollsters indicate a close contest, with BJP and AAP running neck-and-neck.
Where Does Congress Stand in This Battle?
The Congress party, which once dominated Delhi’s political scene, appears to remain on the sidelines. None of the exit polls predict a significant revival for the party. The highest estimate—given by Chanakya Strategies—foresees Congress winning just 2-3 seats, with most pollsters predicting even fewer. The party might impact AAP’s vote share in areas with a high concentration of Muslim and Dalit voters, but it is unlikely to play a major role in government formation.
What Happens Next?
The final results on February 8 will reveal whether these exit poll predictions hold true. If BJP indeed secures a win, it would mark a major political shift in Delhi. AAP, which once gained popularity through its focus on education, health, and governance, may have to re-evaluate its strategy if it loses power. Meanwhile, Congress will need to rethink its position in Delhi politics, as its revival still seems distant.
With no prediction of a hung assembly, the contest is now a direct fight between BJP and AAP. The big question remains: Will BJP officially end its long wait, or will AAP manage an unexpected comeback?
