Aam Aadmi Party has won the seat. Party member Dilip Pandey defeated Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Surinder Pal Singh.
The area comes under the North East Delhi Lok Sabha constituency.The constituency has 1,88,992 electors.
The constituency faces infrastructure-related issues. The constituency's 2/5th electorates are Dalits and Muslims. Sikhs and Punjabis also form a signification portion of the electorate.
The Congress, which held on to the seat from 2003 to 2013, was unseated by the AAP's Harish Khanna in 2013 assembly elections. AAP consecutively maintained its hold on the seat in 2015 polls after the party fielded Pankaj Pushkar from there.
However, Pushkar, the sitting MLA, was dropped in the upcoming elections, with the party going with Dilip Pandey. Interestingly Pandey had contested for the Lok Sabha seat in the general elections but failed to win as BJP swept all seven parliamentary seats in the capital.
In the Delhi Assembly Elections 2020, AAP contested from all 70 seats for the assembly polls while BJP contested on 67 seats, with its ally Janata Dal-United (JD-U) and Lok Janashakti Party (LJP) contested on the remaining three seats.
On the other hand, Congress fought on 66 seats and its ally Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) fought on the remaining 4 seats.
Polling was held at 13,750 polling stations. According to the poll body chief, total electors in the final electoral roll of the NCT of Delhi as on January 6, 2020, were 1,46,92,136.
The polls for all the seats were held on February 8, 2020, and the results were declared on February 11, 2020.
It is to be noted that in 2015, the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had a landmark victory after it secured 67 of the total 70 seats in the state legislature. The party is now eyeing a second consecutive term banking on freebies that it provided to Delhiites including free water, free electricity up to 200 units, free ride for women in DTC and cluster buses, among other measures.
