The Delhi Assembly Elections are a three-way fight between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the Congress. A political party or alliance must win at least 36 seats to form government in the national capital.
Matrize predicts close contest between AAP, BJP
Exit polls data released by Matrize suggests that the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP will get 32 to 37 seats while the BJP secured 35 to 40 constituencies in the Delhi Assembly. Meanwhile Congress is likely to open its account for the first time in more than a decade — but remains unlikely to get more than one seat in Delhi.
