The Aam Admi Party is all set to retain Delhi, say most of the exit polls as voting held in 70 constituencies in the capital ended.
Details awaited
The polling began at 8 am and ended at 6 pm. Counting of votes will take place on Tuesday.
Over 1.47 crore people were eligible to exercise their franchise in the polls that would decide the fate of 672 candidates.
Prominent candidates in the fray include Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, his deputy Manish Sisodia, Atishi and Raghav Chadha of the AAP; four former mayors—Azad Singh, Yogender Chandolia, Ravinder Gupta and Khushi Ram—of the BJP; and Shivani Chopra, daughter of Delhi Congress president Subhash Chopra.
There are 13,750 polling booths, besides one auxiliary booth, located at 2,689 locations across Delhi.
The Aam Aadmi Party is hoping to repeat its stellar performance of the last assembly polls when it won 67 of the 70 seats. The Bharatiya Janata Party, which bagged all the seven seats in Delhi in the 2019 Lok Sabha poll, is aiming to dislodge the AAP, while the Congress is seeking to better its performance than last time when it drew a blank in the assembly polls.
The AAP had got 54.3 per cent votes in the 2015 polls, while the BJP secured 32 per cent and the Congress bagged just 9.6 per cent.
