Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Atishi Marlena won the Kalkaji constituency in the assembly election by a margin of 3,500 votes on Saturday.
She defeated Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former Lok Sabha MP Ramesh Bidhuri. Initially, as the Election Commission of India began counting the votes, Bidhuri was leading, but Atishi gained ground and took the lead in the final rounds of counting.
The electoral contest in Kalkaji was closely watched, with Atishi, a senior AAP leader, facing off against Bidhuri, making it one of the key races in the election.
