Delhi Assembly elections 2020 results: AAP's Arvind Kejriwal all set to reclaim throne

As the counting for the Delhi elections ended, Aam Aadmi Party's Arvind Kejriwal won the New Delhi constituency besting Sunil Kumar Yadav of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). With the sweeping victory in the polls, Arvind Kejriwal has more or less secured himself for the chief ministerial post. 

 Delhi Chief Minister won in his constituency by a margin of 14277 votes.

As it now stands, the AAP has secured a sweeping majority in the legislative assembly by securing 62 seats, reducing the BJP to 13 seats. 

In 2008, Congress leader and former Delhi CM Late Sheila Dikshit defeated BJP's Vijay Jolly. Later in 2013 and 2015, AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal won the seat.

The ruling AAP was locked in a triangular contest with the BJP and the Congress. The Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP had won 67 seats in the 70-member assembly in 2015 assembly elections, defying all expectations. The Congress failed to open its account in the assembly and the BJP was able to win three seats.  

Tight security arrangements was put in place at various centres across the national capital with strong rooms storing the EVMs placed under three-layer security.

There are 672 candidates -- 593 men and 79 women - in the fray for 70 seats of Delhi assembly. 

There are 13 rounds of counting and postal ballots will be counted first and EVMs will be opened only after the counting of ballots.
