‘Arvind Kejriwal will be chief minister for fourth time’: AAP’s Atishi

Delhi: Delhi chief minister Atishi on Saturday, shortly before the beginning of the assembly election results, expressed confidence the Aam Aadmi Party would remain power and its national convenor Arvind Kejriwal will become the CM for the fourth time.

“This was not an ordinary election but a fight between good and evil. I am confident that the people of Delhi will stand with the good, AAP and Arvind Kejriwal. He will become the CM for the fourth time,” Atishi told reporters.

The counting of votes for the high-stakes Delhi assembly election began at 8am on Saturday. The AAP is aiming for a third consecutive term, while the BJP is making all efforts to return to power after more than two decades in Delhi.

Most exit polls released on Wednesday gave the BJP an edge over the AAP. However, AAP leaders said exit polls have historically underestimated the party’s performance. They expressed confidence in returning to power.
