Delhi Election Results: AAP's Top Leaders Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia Lose, Atishi Wins

In a major shock to the Aam Aadmi Party, its top leaders Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia have lost the Delhi Assembly Elections as the BJP appears set for a huge comeback in the national capital.

Mr Kejriwal, who contested from the New Delhi assembly constituency, lost to BJP's Parvesh Verma by 1,200 votes while his former education minister Mr Sisodia was defeated by the BJP's Tarvinder Singh Marwah in Patparganj by a margin of around 600 votes.

The silver lining for the AAP is Chief Minister Atishi's victory against the BJP's Ramesh Bidhuri from Kalkaji.

Avadh Ojha, the popular IAS exam tutor who was among the AAP's high-profile recruits ahead of the elections, is trailing from Patparganj, the former seat of Mr Sisodia. AAP's Somnath Bharti, a candidate from Malviya Nagar, is also trailing.

Delhi voted on February 5 to elect its members to the 70-seat assembly with the AAP showcasing its 'Delhi model' of governance to counter the BJP's corruption allegations in an aggressive campaign.

Chief Minister Atishi exuded confidence this morning that the AAP will return to power and called the election a battle between good and evil. Her cabinet colleague Saurabh Bharadwaj had said the AAP would win at least 40-45 seats. The counting trends, however, suggest otherwise.
