Delhi Exit Polls Predict Another Blank For Congress As BJP, AAP Locked In Tight Race
Delhi Election 2025: Exit polls predict varied performance for BJP and AAP, with BJP leading in several polls. However, Congress is projected to fare poorly by all agencies.
Delhi Election 2025: While exit polls have offered differing predictions for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the Delhi Assembly elections, they all remain consistent on one point—the Congress is expected to perform poorly, securing zero to a maximum of two seats. The official results will be announced by the Election Commission after the counting of votes on February 8.
Exit polls, which are based on voter interviews conducted immediately after polling, often diverge from the actual outcome. However, across various agencies, there is near unanimity that the Congress will once again fail to make any significant impact in Delhi.
According to the Matrize exit poll, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is projected to secure between 35 and 40 seats, while the AAP is expected to win 32 to 37 seats. The Congress is predicted to get only 0 to 1 seat. The People's Pulse exit poll gave the NDA a larger margin, estimating 51 to 60 seats, with the AAP getting just 10 to 19 seats and the Congress drawing a blank.
People’s Insight exit poll projected 40 to 44 seats for the BJP, 25 to 29 seats for the AAP, and 0 to 1 for the Congress. The P-Marq exit poll forecasted 39 to 49 seats for the BJP, 21 to 31 for AAP, and 0 to 1 for Congress. The JVC exit poll suggested a similar trend, predicting 39 to 45 seats for the BJP, 22 to 31 for the AAP, and 0 to 2 for Congress.
A broader poll of polls confirms that while projections for the BJP and AAP vary, the Congress remains firmly at the bottom, struggling to cross even two seats.

While the AAP is seeking a third consecutive term, the BJP hopes to return to power in Delhi after over two decades. The Congress, which has failed to secure a single seat in the last two elections, is hoping for a turnaround. However, if exit polls are accurate, the party's struggles in the capital are likely to continue.
