Atishi, who contested from Kalkaji, defeated BJP’s Ramesh Bidhuri by a margin of 3,521 votes, securing her seat even as her party suffered a major loss in the state.

According to the Election Commission, Atishi polled 52,154 votes, while Bidhuri received 48,633 votes. Congress candidate Alka Lamba finished a distant third, securing only 4,392 votes.
