Former Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP's) national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday suffered a shocking defeat from the New Delhi assembly seat. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Parvesh Verma secured the seat

Meanwhile, Congress's Sandeep Dikshit came at a distant third spot. Notably, the alleged liquor excise policy scam dented the ruling AAP's chance of winning the polls in a big way.

Other AAP bigwigs who lost their seats are - Chief Minister Atishi, Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj, Satyender Jain and Somnath Bharti.

The Kejriwal-led party suffered a loss of over 38 seats in the Delhi polls in 2025. From 62, the AAP's tally reduced to 24 seats. The saffron party emerge as the single largest party with 46 seats. The Congress once again failed to open its account in Delhi for the third consecutive time.
