Significantly, the AAP has chosen to fight the forthcoming Assembly elections independently after forming a partnership with the Congress for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
The governing AAP won the 2015 and 2020 elections with 67 and 62 seats, respectively, and is seeking a third consecutive victory in the capital.
Voting for the 70-member Delhi Assembly is scheduled for February 5, with the counting of votes taking place on February 8.
