In a massive result, former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been defeated in the assembly elections for the New Delhi seat.
BJP candidate Parvesh Sahib Verma triumphed over Kejriwal in a closely contested battle that experienced numerous twists and turns throughout the counting process.
Previously, ex-Deputy CM Manish Sisodia also acknowledged his loss to BJP’s Tarwinder Singh Marwah.
The party is struggling in the elections as the BJP has held a significant advantage since the trends started to emerge today.
AAP is experiencing significant losses across all the VIP seats, including Kalkaji, Jangpura, and Patparganj, among others.
Arvind Kejriwal received 25,999 votes and lost the election by a difference of 4,089 votes.
