** партия Performance:**
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP): In the 2020 elections, AAP won 62 out of 70 seats. A victory in 2025 would solidify Arvind Kejriwal’s position and potentially pave the way for national expansion.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP): The BJP is aiming to regain power in Delhi after 27 years. A win would mark a significant achievement for the party, which has struggled to win Assembly elections in Delhi despite its dominance in national politics.
Indian National Congress: Congress, which ruled Delhi for 15 years until 2013, is hoping to revive its presence after failing to win a single seat in the last two elections.
The outcome of the election is crucial for all three parties. For AAP, a loss would raise questions about its governance model. A continued inability to win Delhi for BJP would highlight its struggle to localize its agenda. For Congress, another failure to win seats would further diminish its status in Delhi’s political landscape.
