New Delhi: Nearly 100 women candidates fought the Delhi Assembly polls this year, but only five – four from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and one from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) – could emerge as winners, the lowest in the last 10 years. Outgoing Chief Minister Atishi, the only woman candidate of the AAP who won this time, was among those five newly-elected women MLAs, who now constitute seven per cent of the 70-member assembly. Of the 699 candidates this year, 96 were women, including nine each from the BJP and the AAP, and seven from the Congress. The three key political parties fielded more women candidates this time than in the 2020 Assembly polls.

Image Source : X Pravesh Verma with BJP supporters Delhi Election Results: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Parvesh Verma emerged as a giant killer after defeating Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor and former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal from the New Delhi seat. Verma, a former member of the Lok Sabha, sent a shocker among AAP supporters as Kejriwal was the main face of the party.
