Delhi MCD Election Results 2022 Live News: AAP widens gap over BJP as leads convert to wins
Delhi MCD Election Results 2022 Live News: AAP has pulled ahead of the BJP as counting of votes reached the later stages in elections to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). Counting started 8 am under tight security.
The fortunes swung between the two sides. More than three hours into counting, Times Now, India Today and News18 showed AAP clearly leading over BJP in a battle where fortunes are swung wildly in many wards
Elections to the 250-ward Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) were held on December 4, with only over a 50 per cent turnout.
The election was largely seen as a three-way contest between AAP, BJP and Congress. But it is now looking more like a two-horse race, with the Congress struggling to get into double digits.
Exit polls aired a day after polling predicted that Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) would win big and rule MCD for the first time.
The exit polls predicted that the BJP, which has ruled MCD since 2007, will fall well short of a three-figure mark. But clearly, that doesn't seem to be the case now.
The exit polls also predicted a poor performance by Congress and indicated that the party has failed to revive itself in the national capital. Which is what seems to be playing out.
The Aaj Tak-Axis My India survey showed the AAP was going to bag 149-171 municipal wards, while the BJP will win 69-91 wards. The survey gave 3-7 wards to the Congress and 5-9 to others.
The AAP is predicted to win 146-156 wards in the Times Now-ETG survey which gave 84-94 wards to the BJP and 6-10 to the Congress and up to four to others.
The News X exit poll gave the Aam Aadmi Party 150-175 wards and the BJP 70-92, while the Congress may win 4-7 municipal wards.
Delhi had witnessed highly charged campaigning by AAP and BJP which made top leaders, including Union ministers, chief ministers of BJP-ruled states and MPs hit the streets for door-to-door campaigning and meetings to garner public support.
Both the AAP and the BJP have exuded confidence that they will emerge victorious in the polls.
The BJP that has been ruling the civic bodies since 2007 had won 181 of the total 270 municipal wards in the 2017 civic body polls, defeating the AAP and the Congress. The AAP won 48 wards and the Congress 30.
Counting is held in 42 centres located in areas, including, Shastri Park, Yamuna Vihar, Mayur Vihar, Nand Nagari, Dwarka, Okhla, Mangolpuri, Pitampura, Alipur and Model Town
Twenty companies of paramilitary personnel and over 10,000 officers of Delhi Police have been deployed at the counting centres. Heavy police presence is ensured outside the offices of political parties to prevent clashes between activists of different parties.

Will Delhi MCD election exit polls hold true?
This in brief was what various exit polls predicted as the outcome of the Delhi MCD poll. All of them show AAP winning by a handsome margin. A word of caution though - exit polls can go off mark, sometimes way off mark.
This mandate will be a signal from Delhi to the whole country that AAP is a fiercely-honest party. The BJP levelled fake allegations against me, ran a witch-hunt against Satyendar Jain. But the people of Delhi have proven with their mandate that there was no scam in Delhi and all the allegations levelled by the BJP were false, motivated by conspiracy and dirty politics.
- Manish Sisodia, Dy Chief Minister
