NEW DELHI, February 8: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has faced a major setback in the Delhi Assembly elections, losing his New Delhi constituency seat to BJP leader Parvesh Sahib Singh.
According to the final results, Kejriwal was defeated by a margin of 3,000 votes, marking a significant loss for the AAP leader in his stronghold. The BJP’s Parvesh Sahib Singh secured victory in a constituency that had previously been considered a bastion for AAP.
Kejriwal, who has served as Delhi’s Chief Minister since 2015, had won the New Delhi Assembly seat in consecutive elections before this defeat. His loss comes at a time when AAP has been struggling against the BJP’s strong electoral performance in the national capital.
With the BJP securing a commanding lead in the Assembly elections, the political landscape in Delhi is undergoing a major shift. The results indicate a loss of public support for AAP, particularly in key constituencies.
