New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal looks set for a third term with his Aam Admi Party(AAP) heading towards a resounding victory as the counting of votes for Assembly elections moves in final rounds.
The AAP is leading on 63 seats and the BJP is a distant second with its candidates ahead on just 7 seats.
In the last elections, Kejriwal’ party had got 67 seats, and the BJP 3 seats only.
That way BJP has made a gain of 4 seats and the AAP suffered a loss of equal number of seats.
The Congress and other parties have drawn a blank so far.
