Aam Aadmi Party set to snatch MCD from BJP, says Aaj Tak Exit Poll

New Delhi: In the high-stakes election to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi on Sunday, the Aam Aadmi Party is looking to rule the MCD, according to an exit poll by Aaj Tak and Axis My India.

According to Aaj Tak Axis My India Exit Poll, BJP is expected to get 35% vote share.  Aak Aadmi Party is likely to secure 43% vote share while Congress will remain at No. 3 at 10% vote share.

In terms of seats, AAP may win 149-171 seats followed by BJP with 69-91 seats and Congress with 3-7 seats.

Counting of the votes polled on Sunday will take place on December 7.

There were 272 wards in Delhi and three corporations -- NDMC, SDMC and EDMC -- from 2012-2022, before being reunified into an MCD that had formally come into existence on May 22.

The erstwhile MCD, established in 1958, was trifurcated in 2012 during Sheila Dikshit's tenure as the chief minister.

In the civic election in 2017, the BJP had won 181 of the 270 wards. Polling could not be held on two seats due to the death of candidates. The AAP had won 48 wards and the Congress 27.
