Votes are set to be counted in India's capital Delhi, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is hoping to stage a comeback after 27 years. Most exit polls, following the vote on Wednesday, predicted an absolute majority for the BJP, giving them more than 35 seats in the 70-member legislative assembly.

The Bharatiya Janata Party has taken an early lead as the counting of votes for the Delhi assembly election began on Saturday morning.The JP Nadda-led party was leading in 13 seats, the ruling Aam Aadmi Party in 4 seats and the Congress in zero seats.

As vote counting unfolds in the Delhi Assembly elections, tensions between AAP and BJP escalate. With exit polls favoring BJP, the stakes are high for AAP's bid for a third consecutive term, making this election pivotal for the political landscape of Delhi.
