Results of the 2020 Delhi Elections

Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) created history by winning a resounding second term in the February 2020 Delhi Assembly elections, securing 62 seats. AAP’s scale of success left the BJP with only single-digit representation and prevented the Congress from winning any seats. Despite a determined campaign to regain power after two decades, the BJP made only a marginal improvement, increasing its seat count from 3 in the 2015 elections to 8.
