Live updates: AAP sweeps Delhi polls, rout for BJP
(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) The AAP led in five seats and the BJP and the Congress in one seat each as officials on Tuesday counted the votes polled in the 70-member Delhi assembly election.
Aam Aadmi Party leaders Manish Sisodia and Somnath Bharti, who were ministers in the Arvind Kejriwal government, forged ahead of their rivals, election officials said.
Three other AAP candidates were also on the winning track.
BJP's chief ministerial candidate Kiran Bedi and Congress veteran A.K. Walia also forged ahead of their rivals.
