As per final tally at 8:30 p.m. on the Election Commission website, the BJP has won 48 seats. The AAP is victorious in 22 constituencies. The Congress has drawn a blank.
In terms of vote share, the BJP and AAP are close. The saffron party has garnered 45.7% of the popular vote, while the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP has secured 43.6%. The Congress has managed to get just over 6% of the vote.
In the 2020 assembly election, AAP won 62 of the 70 seats while the BJP won just eight.
