In a major political shocker, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has lost the prestigious New Delhi assembly seat to BJP’s Parvesh Sahib Singh, marking a significant setback for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the ongoing Delhi Assembly Elections 2025.
According to the Election Commission of India, as of 12:40 PM, Parvesh Sahib Singh secured 22,034 votes, while Kejriwal managed only 20,190 votes, leading to his unexpected defeat. Congress’ Sandeep Dikshit failed to put up a strong fight, managing to get just 3,503 votes.
The loss of the New Delhi constituency, which Kejriwal had comfortably won in previous elections, is being seen as a symbolic and strategic blow to both his leadership and AAP’s electoral fortunes. With this defeat, it appears that the party’s position in the 2025 elections is deteriorating rapidly.
Political analysts believe this result could indicate a larger anti-incumbency wave against AAP, putting a serious dent in the party’s hopes of retaining power in Delhi. More results from other key constituencies are awaited, but the early trends suggest a tough road ahead for Kejriwal and his party. Stay tuned for further updates on the Delhi Assembly Elections 2025.
