As Delhi went to polls on February 5, the nation awaits exit poll results that will come out on Wednesday evening. Polling is underway at 13,766 stations across Delhi's 70 constituencies to decide the fate of 699 candidates. In the 2020 polls, Delhi had recorded a turnout of 62.59 per cent.
While the AAP, which had claimed victory in the last two Assembly elections with huge margins, is looking to continue its winning streak, BJP and Congress are hoping to witness better results this time. Although exit polls have often proved to be wrong, let's see if the pollsters were correct over Delhi election results in 2015 and 2020.

Delhi Assembly Election exit polls 2015
Arvind Kejriwal's AAP had claimed a impressive victory winning 67 of the 70 seats in 2015. The BJP could gain only three seats, while Congress remained empty handed.
Although most of the exit polls had declared AAP's victory with good margin, the party had performed much better than what was predicted and BJP's score was much lower than the predictions.
News Nation predicted 41-45 seats for AAP, 23-27 seats for BJP; Axis predicted 53 seats for AAP, 17 for BJP; India TV-C Voter predicted 35-43 seats for AAP, 25-33 seats for BJP, India Today predicted 38-46 seats for AAP, 19-27 for BJP; Todays Chanakya predicted 48 seats for AAP, 22 for BJP, ABP predicted 43 seats for AAP, 26 seats for BJP
Delhi Assembly Election exit polls 2020
The scenario was almost similar as far as 2020 exit polls were concerned as most of them had declared a clear majority for AAP, but again the party did better than the predictions. AAP won 62 of the 70 seats, while not many of the pollsters predicted Kejriwal's party to cross the 60 mark. However, BJP saw a jump in its tally as it won eight seats.

Delhi Assembly Election 2025 | The first of two state assembly polls this year sees a three-way contest between AAP, Congress, and BJP in the nation's capital. AAP decided to contest the polls alone, causing rumours of a rift in I.N.D.I.A. BJP, meanwhile, is hoping the liquor excise policy scam and pollution in Delhi will give the saffron party an edge over AAP. Kejriwal, on the other hand, has different plans with his demand for reservations for Delhi Jats. Congress will also be looking to make its presence felt and has not held back from attacking its own alliance partner.
