(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer) New Delhi- AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal was trailing by 1,170 votes from New Delhi constituency after briefly taking the lead over his BJP rival Parvesh Verma, according to the Election Commission website.

Kejriwal's vote tally stood at 18,097 and Verma had 19,267 votes at the end of the eighth round of counting.

The trends showed the BJP was leading in 45 of Delhi's 70 assembly seats.

While the AAP has dominated the Political landscape in Delhi for the last 10 years, the BJP has been out of power in the city since 1998.

The Congress, which governed Delhi from 1998 to 2013 and was hoping for a resurgence, seemed headed for its third straight washout.
