Delhi election results: AAP's vote share doubles in a year to 54.3%

New Delhi: It was a double feat for AAP, which not only pulverised the Opposition by bagging 67 out of 70 Delhi Assembly seats but also nearly doubled its vote share since last elections to a phenomenal 54.3 percent. Meanwhile, BJP’s vote share dipped by one per cent to 32.2 as compared to last year’s vote share. [caption id=“attachment_2091405” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  Arvind Kejriwal.

Congress which had bagged eight seats with a vote share of 24.55 percent could manage to get only 9.7 percent of the total vote share. While BJP’s vote share dropped only by one percentage point from 33.07 per cent in 2013 to 32.2 percent this time, the party’s seat count went down from 31 to a paltry 3. The 25 percent rise in AAP’s vote share has resulted in increase of 39 seats as the party got 67. PTI
