The Patparganj Assembly seat in Delhi is a significant political constituency. In the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections, the contest is between Avadh Ojha of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Anil Chaudhury from the Indian National Congress (INC), and Ravindra Singh Negi of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The counting of votes is underway for the Delhi Assembly elections. Early trends are expected within the initial hours.
Avadh Ojha, a well-known UPSC tutor, started his teaching career in 2005. In 2019, Ojha launched his own institution, IQRA IAS Academy in Pune, Maharashtra. In December last year, he joined AAP. The party has fielded him from Patparganj. He is replacing Manish Sisodia, who is contesting from the Jangpura constituency.
The Patparganj constituency has become a focal point in the political narrative. Voters in Patparganj will play a crucial role in shaping the future of Delhi's governance.
His primary opponent Ravindra Singh Negi gave a tough fight to Manish Sisodia in 2020. This time, he will be looking to clinch the seat. Meanwhile, Anil Chaudhury, a seasoned politician who has been associated with the Congress for several years, is also in the fray.

Exit poll predictions
Most exit polls suggested the BJP holding an edge over AAP, which has ruled Delhi since 2015. A poll of polls of five major agencies indicates the BJP securing 38-43 seats, while the AAP is projected to win 26-32 seats. The Congress, which governed Delhi for 15 years under Sheila Dikshit, is expected to remain a marginal player, with 0-1 seats.
