Ahead of the Delhi assembly elections, the final opinion poll released by ABP News-C Voter, on February 5, had predicted 42-56 seats for the AAP, whereas, the BJP was expected to bag 10-24 constituencies. The Congress was, at the most, predicted to win 1 assembly segment in Delhi. Moreover, most of the pre-poll surveys had predicted a return for the Arvind Kejriwal-led party.

In the 2015 assembly elections, Delhiites gave an unprecedented mandate to the AAP. The party, despite being a nascent political force as compared to the Congress and the BJP, ended up winning 67 out of the 70 seats. The BJP, which had won 32 seats in the 2013 polls, ended up being reduced to 3 constituencies. The Congress - ruling Delhi for the 15 consecutive years between 1998 to 2013 - ended up drawing a blank.
