Rajinder Nagar Election Results: BJP’s Umang Bajaj Wins

Delhi election results: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s Umang Bajaj has won from the Rajinder Nagar assembly constituency with a margin of 1231 votes as per the updates published by the Election Commission of India on its official website. As per the latest lead reports from various media houses, BJP is leading in over 40 seats out of the total 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly.

In Rajinder Nagar, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)’s Durgesh Pathak and Indian National Congress’ Vineet Yadav are in second and third places respectively as per the ECI data. Bajaj was polled 46671 while Pathak got 45440 votes. Congress’ Yadav polled 4015 votes.

Durgesh Pathak is the sitting MLA from the constituency who won the elections in the bypolls held in 2022. He had defeated BJP’s Rajesh Bhatia in the 2022 elections. During the 2020 elections, AAP’s Raghav Chadha had won the elections, defeating BJP’s RP Singh. The by-elections in the Rajinder Nagar constituency was caused by the Chadha’s election to Rajya Sabha in 2022.

The results for the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections will be announced on Saturday, February 8, determining whether the AAP can secure a fourth consecutive term or if the BJP will reclaim power after 27 years. The Congress, once dominant in Delhi politics, is also attempting a comeback but is expected to remain a minor player.

The counting of votes commenced at 7 am, with initial trends emerging by 8 am. The final results are expected by 6 pm, with real-time updates available on the Election Commission’s official websites.

A victory for AAP would reaffirm Arvind Kejriwal’s leadership and solidify the party’s national ambitions. A loss, however, could weaken its influence beyond Delhi, particularly in Punjab and Gujarat.
