"All 16 rounds of counting have been completed. AAP candidate Durgesh Pathak has defeated his immediate rival Rajesh Bhatia (of BJP) by a margin of over 11,000 votes," Delhi Chief Electoral Officer Ranbir Singh said.
According to official data, AAP's Mr Pathak polled 40,319 votes, while his nearest rival Mr Bhatia managed to get 28,851 votes. The victory margin was 11,468 votes.
