BJP won most seats in territory that includes the capital for first time in more than 25 years, ousting AA party

Narendra Modi’s ruling Hindu nationalist party has won the most seats in the high-stakes state legislature election in India’s federal territory for the first time in more than a quarter-century.

Modi’s Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) won 47 seats in the 70-member assembly that includes India’s capital, New Delhi, ousting the Aam Aadmi party (AAP), which has ruled it since 2015. The AAP won 22 seats. The outcome of the race in one remaining seat had yet to be declared, according to the Election Commission of India.
