Seat change
Against Delhi's previous Vidhan Sabha election (1993), matched constituency-for-constituency
- Retained29 (41%)
- Changed hands39 (56%)
- New seat2 (3%)
29 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 39 changed hands. 2 did not exist at the previous election.
India’s constituencies have not been redrawn since the 2008 delimitation, so this compares the same seat boundary both times.
