Delhi Assembly Elections 2025: The fight for Delhi heats up as the national capital gets ready to cast its votes on February 5, Wednesday, for the 2025 Assembly Elections. With 699 candidates in the fray across 70 Assembly constituencies, the elections will be a crucial test for the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the Congress. The result for all 70 constituencies will be declared on February 8, Saturday.

This election marks a turning point since it is the first one after Arvind Kejriwal's resignation as Chief Minister.
