New Delhi, February 8, 2025: In a significant political upset, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal lost the New Delhi Assembly seat to BJP’s Parvesh Sahib Singh. The closely contested election saw Kejriwal, a three-time Chief Minister, lose by a narrow margin, marking a turning point in Delhi’s political landscape. Parvesh Sahib Singh’s victory is being hailed as a major boost for the BJP in the capital.
The election was marked by high voter turnout and intense campaigning, with key issues like governance, inflation, and urban development taking center stage. Political analysts attribute the result to a combination of anti-incumbency and the BJP’s focus on targeting urban voters. The loss is a major setback for Kejriwal, who had held the New Delhi seat since 2013, and signals changing dynamics in Delhi politics.
