No wild swings in West Delhi

BJP's Kamaljeet Sehrawat is poised to become a first-time MP after securing a resounding victory over AAP's Mahabal Mishra. Sehrawat, who contested the Lok Sabha election for the first time, garnered 8,42,658 votes, while Mishra, a former MP and three-time MLA from Congress, managed 6,43,645. BSP's Vishakah was third with 7,824 votes. Sehrawat, who previously served as mayor of the erstwhile south corporation in 2017, currently represents one of the wards in Dwarka after her victory in the 2022 municipal election. While it was a close battle in Madhipur and Tilak Nagar, Sehrawat's vote share remained high in Janakpuri, Vikaspuri, Uttam Nagar, Hari Nagar, Rajouri Garden, Dwarka, Matiala and Najafgarh, helping her maintain a healthy lead all through. West Delhi, the largest parliamentary constituency in the city, encompasses a diverse range of demographics and geographies, from the affluent neighbourhood of Dwarka to bustling Rajouri market, remote villages bordering Haryana and colonies inhabited by lower middle class.
