With the Delhi Assembly polls scheduled for February 5 and vote counting slated for February 8, the national capital is buzzing with slogans and campaigns.
While the ruling Aam Aadmi Party looks to retain office, the BJP and Congress are leaving no stone unturned to woo the voters in their favour. As the entire country awaits with bated breath to see the fate of Delhiites, here is a brief look at how parties fared in the last assembly elections.
In the 2020 Assembly elections, the Aam Aadmi Party swept Delhi with 62 seats in their kitty while the BJP came a distant second with only eight.
In terms of voter share, AAP managed 48.23 per cent, with the BJP left with only 6.30 per cent.
The MLAs who attained the highest vote shares were Shoaib Iqbal from Matia Mahal constituency, with 75.96 per cent vote share, Mukesh Kumar Ahlawat from Sultanpur Majra (SC) with a share of 66.51 per cent votes and Amanatullah Khan from Okhla with 66.03 per cent vote share. All three represented the Aam Aadmi Party. In all, 53 MLAs managed a vote share of 50 per cent and above, and only 17 MLAs secured less than 50 per cent of the total votes polled in the Delhi Assembly Elections.
The MLAs to have secured the least amount of vote share were AAP's Madan Lal (40.45 per cent), BJP's Anil Kumar Bajpai (42.64 pe cent) and AAP's Pawan Sharma(45.20 per cent).
The percentage of vote share is calculated by dividing the votes polled for the MLA by the total number of valid votes polled.
