Delhi Election: Exit polls predict Congress wipeout
Exit polls predict another disastrous election for Congress in Delhi. Once dominant in the capital, the party ruled from 1998 to 2013 but failed to win a single seat in 2015 and 2020. In 2025, pollsters expect the same outcome.
Most exit polls forecast a strong victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and a setback for Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Peoples Pulse projects a landslide for the BJP, giving it 51-60 seats. It predicts 10-19 seats for AAP and none for Congress.
Chanakya Strategies sees the BJP winning 39-44 seats, while AAP may secure 25-28. It gives Congress a mere three seats, the highest prediction for the party. Matrize offers the only tight contest scenario, projecting 35-40 seats for the BJP and 32-37 for AAP. Congress may win 0-1 seat.
JVC predicts 39-45 seats for the BJP and 22-31 for AAP. Congress may get 0-2 seats. P-Marq sees 39-49 for the BJP, 21-31 for AAP, and 0-1 for Congress. People’s Insight expects 40-44 seats for the BJP, 25-29 for AAP, and 0-1 for Congress.
Poll Diary estimates 42-50 seats for the BJP, 18-25 for AAP, and 0-2 for Congress. If these predictions hold, Congress will remain a minor player in Delhi politics.
In 2015, AAP won 67 of 70 seats, while the BJP took three. Congress failed to secure any. In 2020, AAP retained power with 62 seats, while the BJP improved to eight. The Congress remained absent from the assembly.
With BJP set for a big win and AAP likely to lose ground, Congress faces another humiliating defeat in Delhi.
