Summary at a Glance

Modi’s BJP poised to win Delhi state elections for first time in 27 years, exit polls show ‘Poll of polls’ gives prime minister’s Bharatiya Janata party a majority in the Delhi assembly, which would oust the reformist Aam Aadmi party (AAP).

If the projections hold, the Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) is set to end the reformist Aam Aadmi party’s (AAP) nearly decade-long rule in the national capital region and reclaim the Delhi assembly.

A defeat for the AAP would mark a massive setback for the anti-establishment party and its leader, Arvind Kejriwal, an activist whose anti-corruption drive helped sweep him to power in 2015 in Delhi and who has been seeking to extend the party’s presence nationally.

Indian prime minister Narendra Modi’s party appears poised to win Delhi state elections, a victory that would end a 27-year drought, according to voter exit polls.

A composite “poll of polls” placed the pro-Hindu BJP party at 43 seats, with AAP trailing at 26.
