The Bharatiya Janata Party took an early lead over the Aam Aadmi Party in the Delhi Assembly election as counting of votes was underway on Saturday morning.
As per the figures at 11.25 am, the BJP was ahead in 45 seats, while the Aam Aadmi Party was ahead in 25 constituencies. The halfway mark to gain a majority in the 70-member Assembly is 36 seats.
As of 11.40 am, Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal and Delhi Chief Minister Atishi were trailing against their BJP rivals, while former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia was leading from his seat.
The polling was held on Wednesday and the provisional voter turnout was 60.4%, according to the Election Commission.
Most exit polls have projected that the BJP will defeat the ruling Aam Aadmi Party. The Aam Aadmi Party has dismissed the exit polls, saying that the surveys had historically underestimated the party’s performance.
If the survey forecasts hold, the BJP will return to power in Delhi after 26 years.
