Iswar Chand of the Bharatrastra Democratic Party received the lowest votes, with just four people supporting him. Sangha Nand Bauddh from Bhim Sena, Mukesh Jain from the Rashtrawadi Janlok Party, and Nitya Nand Singh from the Rashtriya Manav Party each secured eight votes. Independent candidates Haider Ali and Pankaj Sharma got nine votes each.
Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to form the government in Delhi after 26 years. The party won 47 out of 70 seats and was leading in four more, according to the Election Commission.
