Okhla Assembly Constituency comprises five wards: Madanpur Khadar East, Madanpur Khadar West, Sarita Vihar, Abul Fazal Enclave, and Zakir Nagar.
The most densely populated areas within the Okhla assembly have a significant Muslim population, particularly in neighbourhoods such as Zakir Nagar, Joga Bai, Batla House, Abul Fazal Enclave, Noor Nagar, Gaffar Manzil, Haji Colony, Okhla Vihar, and Shaheen Bagh.
BJP's Manish Chaudhary could emerge victorious from the Okhla Assembly seat if Amanatullah, Ariba, and Shifa receive roughly equal support from the Muslim vote bank. Okhla’s two most populated wards — Abul Fazal Enclave and Zakir Nagar — are Muslim-dominated, and a split in their votes could open the door for the BJP to secure a win with consolidated backing from its core supporters.
The Madanpur area has a mixed population and previously leaned towards the BSP, but recent ward elections indicate a shift toward the BJP. Meanwhile, Sarita Vihar, which is predominantly Hindu-populated, remains a stronghold for the BJP.
Okhla’s Voting Patterns
Historically, the Okhla assembly has shown a tendency to elect candidates based on their individual appeal rather than party affiliation. Prominent figures like Parvez Hashmi (from Janata Dal and Congress), Asif Khan (RJD and Congress), and Amanatullah Khan (AAP) have all benefited from this trend.
